The largest museums in Russia Presentation on art on the topic of museums Presentation by an 8th grade student ANOKHINA NIKOLAY

Museum (from the Greek muzeon - House of Muses) is an institution engaged in collecting, studying, storing and exhibiting objects - monuments of natural history, material and spiritual culture, as well as educational and popularization activities.

The original museums arose from archives-libraries and ancient collections of gifts to temples. The name itself goes back to the Museum in Alexandria of Egypt, where, according to the ideas of the ancients, the Muses really lived, and gifts were brought to them. Then, from the 18th century, it also includes a building where the exhibits are located. Since the 19th century, research work carried out in museums has been added. And from the sixties of the XX century began pedagogical activity museums (special projects for children, teenagers and adults).

The origins of museum work pre-revolutionary Russia the concept of especially valuable museum objects (VMO) did not exist. In the process of awareness cultural value objects, their belonging to the cultural heritage, several historical stages can be distinguished. The first of them is associated with highlighting the special value of works of art and historical relics on religious and mystical grounds and placing them in churches, cathedrals, monasteries and their sacristies. Other grounds for highlighting items were their material value, belonging to princely, then royal use. Princely treasuries existed in Kyiv, Suzdal, Vladimir, Novgorod, Tver, and Pskov. In the 14th -15th centuries. The Moscow Kremlin becomes the main treasury.

At the next stage, museum institutions emerge. The first museums in Russia appeared on the initiative of Peter I and Catherine II. And in the future, the state, the imperial house, the government created or financially supported undertakings that were the most valuable from the point of view of science, art, and prestige. Significant collections of works of art emerge and the first art museums(Hermitage), however, the emerging museums were based on collections of a closed nature, intended for a narrow circle of people.

New stage museum construction, reflecting changes in public consciousness in relation to cultural heritage, began in Russia (as well as in Europe) in the 19th century. under the influence of the Great French Revolution and the Enlightenment, which proclaimed the public affiliation of museums. A new type of museum collection is emerging, the value of which is determined not so much by scientific and artistic significance, but by moral and symbolic value, as an expression of community and power human culture. Public museums are being created, and the owners of private collections are transferring them for public use.

Presentations about “Museums”

Presentations about “Museums”

Here you can find it for free download presentations about museums. Presentations about museum studies are designed to give students a basic understanding of what functions museums perform, what the history of these institutions is, and how their work is carried out. The presentations can be divided into five parts - historical, theoretical, applied museology, as well as source studies and museography. Each of the listed sections studies certain aspects of science.

The object of the presentations is museums as a social phenomenon in all its manifestations. The subject of the presentations is the study of objective patterns that relate to the accumulation, preservation and transmission of traditions, emotions and social information through exhibits, as well as the history of the functioning, appearance and social activities museums. Accordingly, the presentations should familiarize students with the social significance of these institutions, and are also intended to ensure that students master the basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills for working in similar institutions. It does not matter what exactly the student will do - collecting and caring for exhibits or working with staff or visitors to the institution - in any case, he needs to have the appropriate knowledge. The discipline uses methods borrowed from many other sciences. For example, the discipline uses methods from sociology, pedagogy, psychology, auxiliary and special historical disciplines, spectrography, radiography, methods of direct observation and field research, experimental methods, etc. Using the listed methods, museums and their activities are studied.

Presentations are necessary to ensure that students become familiar with all working methods and are able to put them into practice. In addition, presentations about museums borrowed conceptual apparatus from other disciplines, although many terms in the context of museum studies took on completely different meanings. Currently, presentations about museums are at the stage of formation, so unification and adjustment of the conceptual apparatus of these presentations at a new level is required.

Presentations are compiled taking into account the listed features of the discipline. In addition to mastering theoretical knowledge, students will have seminar classes. When preparing for seminars, students are required to demonstrate independence, as they will have to use additional literature. With this in mind, upon completion of viewing the presentations, students will receive a comprehensive knowledge about museums and will be ready to work in these institutions, as well as to master other related disciplines.
