world and those with historical value.
The
moderator of the event will be art historian and architectural historian
Yelizaveta Likhacheva, and the speaker will be Ksenia Smirnova, Deputy Director
for Educational Activities of the A.V. Shchusev Museum of Architecture.

time and how museums have provided new forms of cultural and intellectual
experience. The lecture will also explore modern approaches to creating
museum-exposition locations and buildings.
