Abstract:
Relevance. The object of this research is the managerial culture in the museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study
considers a management culture in museums on a large scale, as museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan are a part of the
world culture and their development occurs not in self-isolation from the world, but in this world, though in time of
experiencing economic and political crises, and in time of a pandemic.
Purpose. The paper examines the general history of museum development in Kazakhstan, management culture, and
management itself. The management culture is shown from ethical and practical sides. The study demonstrates
management as a new strategy of museum management in the modern world. The basic work of museums and their
reaction to challenges of the modern world is also briefly shown, i.e., the new role of museums in the modern world is
considered.
Methodology. The desk research method was used: analysis of modern research of the last three years on the museums
of the Republic of Kazakhstan, management culture and management in museums.
Results/Conclusions. The article concludes that museums, despite their conservatism, can respond to the challenges of
the time and adapt to the needs of society. Moreover, the culture of management in museums is changing in order to
dictate to society what is relevant and interesting, rather than passively fulfilling its demands. The management culture
dictates to museum workers new approaches to effective museum management, and the museum has become not only a
centre of history and culture preservation but also an active centre of public education.
