Abstract:

The global tendency to globalization that is reflected in rapprochement of various cultures shapes the way how the museums adapt to new conditions, both in political and economic areas. The accelerated development of IT technologies predetermined a new form of their existence – in virtual space. The development of Internet platforms offers huge potential for the museums, allowing them to attract the broadest categories of visitors. In turn escalating interest in museum collections assumes opening new exhibition spaces, including foreign museums exhibitions. Such foreign exhibitions acquire the importance of not only entertaining, but also truly scientific international centers that expand professional collaboration and support the dialogue of cultures.
