Educational role of the University Museum: problems and prospects
The paper deals with the place and role of the museum space of a modern Russian university in society. The authors indicate to several of functions that University museums perform today: historical (preservation of cultural heritage at the University), educational and economic function. However, according to the idea of authors, University museums today should be a meeting place for society and the academic environment of the University. This goal is achieved by organizing a special Museum space at the University, which is not exclusively professional in nature, but is aimed at promoting science.
