× It is a place where people can learn local histories.

The subject 'museums' is plural, so the verb and pronoun should also be plural. 'It is a place' should be 'They are places' to agree in number with 'museums'.

✓ By visiting museums, we are able to have a deeper understanding of how it was like in the past.

× Yes, there is a great number of museums in my hometown.
✓ Yes, there are a great number of museums in my hometown.
The phrase 'a great number of museums' is plural, so the verb should be plural 'are' instead of singular 'is' to agree with the plural subject.
× However, I if I do get a chance to visit a museum in a foreign country, I will do so.
✓ However, if I do get a chance to visit a museum in a foreign country, I will do so.
