metadata.value: This article is a kind of reflection of a museum professional on the theme of the developing museum network of the Republic of India. The author seeks to find the answer to the question: what
  should be done to qualitatively renew the country’s museums, transform them in accordance
  with the latest approaches of world museology? However, instead of focusing on the problems of
  museum activities, she calls for a rethinking of the future in a positive way, as well as to see the
  huge potential that museums in India have. Awareness of this potential includes an analysis of
  the needs of various categories of museum visitors. In addition, the potential of Indian museums
  is due to the multifaceted national culture, which is reflected in museum collections and museum displays. Thus, this article offers the reader a look at museology in evolution, in movement,
  is an internal partly subjective look at the development of museology, does not consider a static
  situation or historical perspective, but analyzes the applicable possibilities in the development of
  museum business in a single country — India. The author focuses on the analysis of issues such
  as the re-profiling of cultural and natural heritage sites, the specifics of museum design, the study
  of the target audience of Indian museums and the activities of national organizations whose
  activities are related to museums in the country. The author addresses the aspects of financing
  the museum sector through grants, as well as mutually beneficial cooperation between museums
  and private collectors. The article was prepared on the basis of relevant research publications,
  periodicals, museum sites and cultural organizations of India, relevant to the research topic.
