This article attempts to clarify the concept of "museum world", argues the case for the introduction of this new category. The development of the museum world has passed several stages, which coincided with the stages of the genesis of the museum as a cultural form. One of the lines of development is broadening of the extent of the museum world through the intersection and interaction with other out-of-museum cultural practices. The introduction of the concept of "museum world" enables us to analyze and describe the history of museums and museum practices in Russia, emphasizing the historical and cultural context and institutions related to museums, and allows to identify new research directions.
