Антропологический подход к изучению древних культур региона как методологическая основа подготовки му- зеологов

The article attempts to substantiate the anthropological approach to study the ancient cultures of the region as a methodological basis for training future museum specialists. The authors prove that the anthropological approach to study ancient cultures of the region as a methodological basis for training museum specialists will allow to solve such problems as: readiness of future specialists to work in the conditions of the collection-centred paradigm taking into account advanced education that allows training them for work in the museum-centrist and anthropological paradigms; providing openness of an educational institution by incorporating it into the regional museum space; diversification and variability of education in the field of museology in accordance with the trends in developing the social and cultural sphere and the directions of cultural policy and development strategy of culture. Presently, the training of museum specialists is an urgent task of science and practice related primarily to the expansion of the functions of modern museums and museum-type institutions, as well as lack of systematic training.
