Most of the local lore museum's exhibition is unclear and uninteresting to young visitors, for whom the primacy of a recognizable image in relation to a verbal text is a priori, and their knowledge of history is fragmentary. The used today augmented reality technology formally duplicates the verbal text and has no heuristic value. In order to determine ways for optimizing the exposition, it was photographed by a group of bachelors from the Silk Road University in Samarkand. The process of yuong people museum involvement in a region with traditional culture and stable patterns of behavior has its own characteristics that require even greater activity and accuracy of museum workers. Analysis of photographs of unattractive points in the existing exhibition and semi-structured interviews with students make possible recommendations for the implementation of a new museum paradigm in an outdated exhibition space.
