Hello.
Could you please tell me if the following sentences are correct?

1) The museum is worthy to be visited.
2) The museum is worthy of being visited.
3) The museum is worthy of a visit.
4) The museum is worth a visit.
5) The museum is worth visiting.
6) It is worthwhile to visit/visiting the museum.

Only 4 and 5 are natural for me.

3, 4 and 5 work for me. 3 is my least favourite of those though.

See below.

Pam: I would like to visit that museum.
John: Why?
Pam: I can see some things there that I am unlikely to see anywhere else.
John: OK.

I can't go with 1., 2. or 3. I think of "worthy" as being attributable to a person. I would go with 4. and 5. And in 6. I would prefer, "...worthwhile a visit to" or "...worthwhile visiting".

Learners can safely forget about the word "worthy" until they get to an advanced level. Most English speakers probably go through their entire lives without ever using it.

Most native speakers most of the time go through the entire day without even thinking about grammar. And when they do discuss it they don't talk about phrases they are never going to use. That is the point I was trying to make in post #4. (Possibly I was too subtle.)

1 is most natural.
2 is correct but not natural.
3 is nor correct.

You can also say "He deserves respect".

Just teach your students this: Never use the word "worthy". Native speakers rarely use it, it's tricky to use correctly, and you don't need it.
