Keeping of citizens’ national and ethnic identity is one of major goals of modern Russian state that has to opposite to agressive globalization and westernisation processes. Under such attack, local cultures rapidly loose their own unique faces, the monocultural world doesn’t properly care about preservation of heritage left by traditional cultural organisms. A museum as a unique institution of educational and cultural state policy actively involved into elaborating mass ideologic paradigm in which a national identity is an important part. Here, significant role plays provincial museums of local lore, ethnographic museums, whose work with visitors run by a philosophical theory of “live museum”. Such type of communication based on performing various educational, creative, and recreative museum ethnographic programs is absolutely suitable for the purposes of state cultural policy. Omsk State Museum-Reserve “Siberian Olden Time” is a good example of “live museums” class that practices notable in West Siberia museum area museum and ethnographic programs.
