Abstract

The paper’s subject is the experience of Arctic museums in the Arkhangelsk region as sites for preservation, popularization and revalorization of the Russian North and Arctic cultural heritage. The purpose is to analyze existing museum-themed exhibitions, thanks to which museums in Arkhangelsk and the region carry out their activities. Particular attention is paid to the “Malye Korely” museum-reserve of wooden architecture and folk art, which is included in the list of highly valuable objects of cultural and national heritage of the Russian Federation. The museum, using the example of the Mezen sector, provides an exposition of not only the northern Russian, but also the Arctic part of the region’s territory. The authors conclude that the Arctic museums of the Arkhangelsk region and the city of Arkhangelsk demonstrate various ways of creating and implementing Arctic museums in a modern socio-cultural environment, being an example of both traditional methods of museumification and the active use of modern multimedia technologies in terms of preservation and actualization of traditional culture in the Russian North and in the Arctic.
