Взаимодействие музея и общества как фактор становления культурного туризма в послевоенное время

Abstract

In the early years after the Second World War, the active restoration of the palace and park ensembles of Leningrad began. During this period, a stable positive social attitude was formed towards them. Later it became the foundation of increased interest and attention to museum-palaces and parks as objects of cultural heritage. The article attempts to determine the reasons for this phenomenon using the example of the complex in Petrodvorets. Based on newspaper materials for 1945–1949 the value aspect of the perception of this tourist destination by the residents of Leningrad and Petrodvorets was revealed. The restoration of the ensemble is considered as an example of effective joint activities of the museum, society and the state. The study of archival documents made it possible to assume that one of the reasons for the tourist popularity of Petrodvorets in the following years was also the development and renewal of health-improving and sports leisure zones.
