摘要

The global epidemic caused by the COVID-19 virus has affected the behavior and consciousness of people.Fears associated with their own death,the death of loved ones,uncertainty in the future,insecurity and vulnerability combined with a new vision of the world around us,nature,their physicality,the value of other people,the value of society in general and their place in it.Various emotions,anxieties,and new discoveries found their expression in the pieces of art created during the pandemic and bearing its imprint.The new conditions influenced not only the content of the expositions of modern museums,but also the activities of the museum as a whole.That tendency conduced the relocation of the transfer of expositions to open spaces,emerging of the new exhibition formats,the active development of Internet projects,the creation of social clubs and groups to support each other by people in a pandemic.Thus,the contemporary museum takes on a new role.In a crisis,it becomes a place where it is possible to master complex emotions with the help of art,a platform for discussions,exchange of their impressions,experiences,with the aim of helping people find emotional balance and hope in the future in a crisis.
