Education is one of the recognized functions of museums. We focus in this article on virtual museums, understood as learning contexts. We present a study that proposed the participation of university students in experiences that involved visiting virtual museums in the Google Cultural Institute. They participated in the study 38 university students who, divided into groups, had to respond to an academic task, after visiting a virtual museum. The data presented in the article were collected by administering two questionnaires, both of open questions. One of them was administered before performing the task while the other was answered when completed. The first was aimed to probe students' conceptions about virtual museums while the second aimed to capture the valuations of subjects about the virtual museum visited, since their physical, social and personal dimensions. Among the main results we identify conceptions of virtual museums and their functions as well as featured in the configuration of virtual museums as educational contexts physical, social and personal aspects. The findings highlight the potential of virtual museums as contexts for learning.
