Museums can be a communication system to the education and cultural promotion service. They act as educators in the field of non-formal, school support and link for continuing education. At the same time the museums can even operate as extensions of the classroom or as pedagogical tools for formal education; they are a supplement where the museums may be essential in the formal educational system partners. We will see the case of the Museum interactive Jew of Chile (MIJ), which, being an institution within the scope of the non-formal education, carries out direct interventions in the classroom, trains teachers, develop educational resources for teachers and for the students, according to its compulsory subjects. Considered that this non-formal education sometimes can be so and more effective than formal teaching in schools. The aim of this non profit institution is to support teaching in the school curriculum in relevant issues such as tolerance, human rights, diversity and multiculturalism.
