Abstract:
This scientific article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the distinctive features of major European museums established in the late 18th and early 19th centuries - the Hermitage Museum, Louvre Museum, and Prado Museum. The study examines the history of the establishment of these museums, the sources and principles of the formation of their collections, their architectural solutions, exhibition structures, as well as their functional role in society and the process of their popularization among the public. The article employs historical-genetic, comparative-historical, system-analytical, structural-functional, and problem-chronological research methods. As a result of the study, both the similarities and differences among the three museums have been identified, and the general trends in the development of museums in Europe in the late 18th and 19th centuries have been determined. In addition, practical recommendations for the development of national museums in Uzbekistan have been proposed.
