× I definitely agree that museums are important due to main reasons.
✓ I definitely agree that museums are important due to main reasons.
No correction needed here as 'museums' and 'reasons' are correctly plural.
× One museum is a mirror of the prehistoric culture.
✓ A museum is a mirror of prehistoric culture.
Use 'A museum' instead of 'One museum' for general statements. Also, 'prehistoric culture' is uncountable, so no 'the' is needed.
× It allows people in the current generation to learn about the tradition and culture of the early people and also museum embodies.
✓ It allows people in the current generation to learn about the traditions and culture of early people, and also the museum embodies them.
'Tradition' should be plural 'traditions' to refer to various customs. 'Early people' does not need 'the'. The sentence was incomplete; 'museum embodies' needs an object, so 'them' is added.
× It is quite disappointing that we don't have we don't have much museums in our hometown.
✓ It is quite disappointing that we don't have many museums in our hometown.
'Much' is used with uncountable nouns; 'many' is correct for countable plural nouns like 'museums'.
× In fact, we only have one and I'm not so sure of its name.
✓ In fact, we only have one, and I'm not so sure of its name.
No plural or singular error here; just added a comma for clarity.
× I have once visited it and so far I can say that there are not so many artifacts and important things that I can learn from the museum.
✓ I have visited it once, and so far I can say that there are not many artifacts or important things that I can learn from the museum.
'Once' is better placed after 'have visited'. 'Not so many' is informal; 'not many' is clearer. Use 'or' instead of 'and' when listing alternatives.
× Frankly speaking, I don't often visit a museum because of time constraint.
✓ Frankly speaking, I don't often visit a museum because of time constraints.
'Time constraint' should be plural 'time constraints' as it refers to multiple limitations.
× Apart from being a public teacher, I am also a parent to a three-year old little boy.
✓ Apart from being a public teacher, I am also a parent to a three-year-old little boy.
Compound adjectives like 'three-year-old' should be hyphenated.
× If my memory serves me well, it was last year when I last visited a museum.
✓ If my memory serves me well, it was last year when I visited a museum last.
Repetition of 'last' is redundant; better to place 'last' once at the end.
× I was in a short vacation with my husband and my 3 little little year little boy when we visited the museum in Oh my God.
✓ I was on a short vacation with my husband and my three-year-old little boy when we visited the museum in Oh my God.
'On a vacation' is correct preposition. 'Three-year-old' should be hyphenated and spelled out. Removed repeated words 'little little year little'.
