MUSEUM AS A SOCIO-CULTURAL INSTITUTION (1990–2010)

The article addresses the role and importance of the museum in society during the reform of artistic and industrial education and museum sciences in Europe, Russia and the United States in the 1990s–2010s. The most pressing issue is the use of multimedia technologies in the sphere of total design and the place of the designing artist in the process. It is very important to stress that the increasing use of new educational technologies and new instruction programs in the Art and Graphics Department at Vitebsk State Masherov University has given rise to a number of methodological issues that need to be addressed without delay. These are issues of designing museums and exhibitions, and, first and foremost, designing environmental facilities, such as museums and international expositions. The role and importance of the museum in society in Russia and Belarus is actively discussed today by media and academia. Art critics, museum professionals and cultural researchers are writing about it. What are the prospects of the modern museum and how do architects today solve these issues in the context of international practice in the CIS and other foreign countries? An attempt is made to analyze these processes and identify development trends, and show best achievements in the world expo architecture design. The article primarily focuses on museums of technology due to their recent mass development in Western Europe and America.
