Annotation: At the present stage of the scientific thought’s development, there is much attention to the problematics of hypertext and hypertextuality. Hypertext clearly reflects the structure of modern culture and its organization in the shape of a massive set of interrelated cultural texts, and so we can call it a modern information paradigm. A museum exposition is a cultural text composed of museum items; those play a role of signs and symbols. As a model of reality, an exposition has high informational potential that is based on the set of interconnections between subjects included in. However, the text of the museum exposition does not exist by itself and does not remain isolated. Selecting in the hypertext such blocks as pretext, actual text and post-text, we can state the exposition simultaneously performs all these roles. In the light of the Orthodoxy’s Renaissance, there is a special interest to church museums’ expositions; those can be considered as post-texts of the religion and the church. The social institution of the church also acts as a post-text of religion, within which the image of the Orthodox world is formed and the teaching of faith is preserved. The church museum is a post-text of cultural and symbolic texts of the religion and the church. It preserves, broadcasts and popularizes the legacy of Orthodoxy, performing all the functions inherent to the museum, but also carrying out catechetical activities. There is an additional value-semantic layer is formed in such a museum, which perception implies belonging to the corresponding cultural code. Actual texts of church museums’ expositions allow them realize missionary-catechetical activity in the process of museum communication due to the strong connection of church museums with the “source” texts of religion and church as well as with the audience’s interest in the interpretation of the Orthodox cultural code.
Keywords: church museum, museum exposition, pre-text, actual text, post-text, museum hypertext, semiotic approach.
