× they often show us a glimpse to our past
✓ they often show us a glimpse of our past
The correct preposition to use with 'a glimpse' is 'of', not 'to'. So, 'a glimpse of our past' is the proper phrase.
× The last time when I visited the museum was almost one year ago
✓ The last time I visited the museum was almost one year ago
The phrase 'The last time when' is redundant. 'The last time I visited' is the correct structure. Removing 'when' improves sentence clarity and correctness.
