Museum feast as a Form of Cultural and Educational Activity: Prospects for Development

Contemporary museums are undergoing rapid transformations that necessitate a rethinking of traditional approaches. Particular attention is paid to cultural and educational activities, which are becoming increasingly interactive and visitor-oriented. The museum holiday, as a promising form of such activities, is undergoing a profound transformation, responding to modern challenges. Despite the widespread use of museum holidays, their theoretical understanding remains insufficient, making it difficult to systematize and analyze this multifaceted practice. This study proposes a new classification of museum holidays based on an analysis of contemporary trends and the practices of the Kuzbass Museum-Reserve "Tomskaya Pisanitsa". The author analyzes the evolution of the museum holiday, its various forms, and functions in contemporary society. The study also examines the role of museum holidays in popularizing cultural heritage, educational processes, and shaping civic identity.
