Portuguese term

museu-escola

Portuguese to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Subtitles
In Portugal, we have some museums that may also be a 'museu-escola', a place where they teach about that particular subject. Is there such a thing in English? I can't seem to find anything that actually uses a proper term for it, and somehow school museum doesn't seem right...

Thanks in advance for your help!
