The significant raise of social-cultural role of the museums in the modern society turns them into an active participant of cultural processes. The museums are the cultural centers preserving the memories of the past and cultural heritage. The social-economical development of the modern time sets tasks for museums. One of these tasks is to improve professional ability of the museum guides.

These ideas were stated at the seminar-training held by the organization of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic for the museum guides at the Memorial Museum on December 14.

Speaking the importance of the event, the collaborator of the ministry Gumral Mamiyeva made a speech on the topic “The behavior rules of museum guide” and mentioned that museums of different profiles are operating in the autonomous republic. The museums are paid special attention, their material-technical base is strengthened, the professional level of the stuff is developed. After the Decree of the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic “On strengthening relations with the museums” dated December 19, 2014, there has been a significant increase in the number of museum visitors. This, in turn, requires responsible and active work of museum staff, museum guides, as well as it is necessary to develop intelligible and fluent speech skills in the presentation of exhibits.

“Since 2015, the acquaintance of the museum guides with the museums operating in the different regions of the autonomous republic is provided through the seminar-trainings”- said Gumral Mamiyeva and stressed that 11 events of this kind were held for the museum network in the autonomous republic last year. Today’s event is the twentieth. The main goal of the today’s event serves to increase the professional ability of the museum guides, to help developing their theoretical and practical knowledge methodically.

It was noted that in these seminar-trainings the museum guides are also eager to learn more about the functions of the museum, as well as learn more about the museum's work. At the same time, these events are important from the point of view to get acquainted with the museums of the autonomous republic. These events give information to the museum guides about the innovations of this field, their questions are answered.

It was stated that consistent measures are being carried out to organize high level of museum activity. The implemented tasks require great responsibility from the museum guides. Today, our museums need to have educated, erudite, foreign language-speaker guides who have detailed information about the cultural center they work, and capable of conducting a comparative analysis of exhibits displayed at the exposition. The museum guide should also try to contribute to collect exhibits for the museums. In addition, the museum guides should obey strictly to the rules of conduct with the museum visitors, display them courtesy, should make a good impression with their dress style and intellectual outlook on those who come to the museum. The museum guides should be aware of the museum work and the innovations in the autonomous republic, should answer the questions of the visitors on scientific bases and historical facts. It is of paramount importance to conduct seminar-trainings that allow for the exchange of experience in solving all of these tasks.  

Then the museum exhibition was viewed, the excursion was discussed.

At the end, the questions of the event participants were answered, methodical recommendations were given related to the guide text and ethic behavior of the museum guides.

The speaker also talked about the revival of museums activities in the autonomous republic and the work in the field of the creation of new museums.
