Abstract
The article discusses some characteristics of coverage of the art presented in the museum space in the contemporary Russian media. Based on the content analysis of materials of more than twenty Internet resources of general interest, the principal features of media texts concerning fine art in art museums are described, related both to the modern specificity of media space development and to a special role of a museum as a significant social space presenting fine art to a public viewer. It is emphasized that most materials on cultural topics are characterized with linguistic simplicity of publications, wide use of illustrations, rejection of deep analysis and critical defining of cultural phenomena, the emphasis on entertainment or stimulation of consumer interest to museums.
Key words: art, art museum, museum activities, journalist
