Trends in art-historical discourses in museums of Russia, Uzbekistan, and the United Kingdom

Abstract

This article explores the evolving trends in art-historical discourses within the museums of Russia, Uzbekistan, and the United Kingdom. It highlights how museums in these three culturally and historically diverse countries construct and present narratives about national and global artistic heritage. Through a comparative analysis of museum practices, exhibitions, and curatorial strategies, the study reveals the impact of socio-political, historical, and digital transformations on art interpretation and presentation. The research further investigates the role of modernization, identity formation, and global discourse integration in shaping curatorial approaches. Additionally, attention is given to how museums balance traditional representations with contemporary expectations, including interactive and digitalized forms of engagement. The findings provide insight into how different nations utilize museums as tools for cultural dialogue, memory, and education in the 21st century.
