Museums have a role in society. They represent rare, unique items and attract attention to them. The museum aims to emphasize the importance of values as heritage in maintaining cultural continuity.
The Museum is a sociocultural institution in which monuments of art, history, science, technology and other areas of human activity are collected, studied and stored. In addition, this institution is engaged in educational activities, exhibiting exhibits to the public. The museum takes its beginnings from private collections of art objects, artifacts and rarities. But always all these collections reflected the priority of the cultural interest of a particular era. For example, in ancient times, these were mostly works of art. In the Middle Ages, more attention was paid to icons, church utensils, artistic sewing, relics of saints, etc. The first museums that set themselves scientific goals appeared in Europe during the Renaissance. They began to collect minerals, astronomical instruments, ethnographic items, and much more. In Russia, the Kunstkamera became the first museum available for public visits. The basis of her collection was the collection of Peter I: weapons of different nations, paintings, prints, machine tools, tools, etc. All museums can be divided into: research and educational, natural science, historical, literary, art, technical, educational and research. The basis of such a division lay the profile orientation of the institution and its belonging to a certain area of human activity. And like any other sociocultural institute, the museum has its own functions: - documentation: reflection, through expositions, various factors, events that took place in society; - education and upbringing: acquaintance of visitors with historical moments, the formation of aesthetic taste; - leisure activities: holding attractive forms of excursions for visitors, recreation of interior interiors, the use of theatrical forms of work, concerts, balls, celebrations, etc. The level of development and production of the museum th case says about the general cultural level of the people and how the country's population belongs to the past, the more expensive and proud.
