Museum. Architectural history

The culturologist and museologist Ksenia Surikova explores the phenomenon of the museum through the prism of architecture and proposes to consider it in the wide context of cultural transformations that influenced the roles and functions of the museum in society. Consistently considering the features of the museum in various historical periods, the author shows how, depending on the strategies of the attitude to the past, the perception of a museum object and museum function changed, and therefore the typology of the museum building was built or destroyed.
The book is addressed to architects, artists, culturalists, museologists, as well as representatives of city administrations and various civilian communities
