In British English we can use only which, that or no relative in that sentence.

I loved the museum (which / where) we visited last year.

I'd use "that" here (or nothing between "museum" and "we"). "Where" is wrong with "visited".

Welcome to the forum, Ghada Nasser.

I was just about to point out that we don't do students' homework when I noticed that you're actually an English teacher. Please don't post any more threads which give students the idea that this is a free homework answering service.

If you want to discuss language points that you're having trouble with, please start by giving us the source of the question and making your own attempt at answering it and/or explaining your problem.

@Rover_KE The OP doesn't seem like a question to me. It's more like somebody telling me what to do.

I wouldn't use either choice, but I wouldn't say it that way anyhow. I would probably say, "I enjoyed our trip to the museum." (I know that wasn't an option.)

"Which" usually introduces a parenthetical clause, an informational "aside," rather than the minimal "meaning" of the sentence.
"That" is used for a necessary part of the sentence. It points out the item you are talking about.

Example:
The shoes, which are on sale, are near the entrance.
(The shoes -- which by the way happen to be on sale today -- are near the entrance.)

The shoes that are on sale are near the entrance. (pointing to the sales items)
(Other shoes -- the ones that are not on sale -- are at the back of the store.)
----------------------

So if you want to use "which," it will mean:
> I loved the museum, which (by the way) you will recall Mary and I visited last year.
I loved the museum, which we visited last year.

If you don't want to say that, but instead want to point at the museum, use THAT.
> I loved the museum that we visited last year.
