Business programme

Today, museums serve as centres for the development of modern competences in creative industries and a meeting point for new collaborations, professional dialogues, and exchanging experience. Contemporary museums adhere to a sustainable agenda and instil a culture of conscious consumption and respect for the environment in the public through the organization of exhibitions and educational projects. The interdisciplinary and cross-industrial activities of museums scale up the value of creative thinking in various sectors of the economy and raise questions about the importance of identifying, studying, and preserving the heritage of 21st century fashion and design. They provide a strategic platform for the development of design diplomacy by bringing together creative industry institutions and leaders that pass on craft and artistic traditions as a competitive advantage. What should a modern museum look like?

Elena Titova

Director, All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts

Elena Titova is the director of the Federal Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art, the only museum in Russia that combines Russian works of decorative and applied art from 17th to 21st centuries with design objects of the 20th and 21st centuries.
During the period of Ms. Titova’s leadership the museum has reached a higher level of expertise and a new semantic concept of development of the cultural platform was implemented. The museum opened permanent expositions entitled ‘Russian Style. From Historicism to Art Nouveau’, ‘Decorative Art of the 17th-19th Centuries’, ‘Russian Lacquer Miniatures’, as well as the first museum exposition of Russian design of the 20th and 21st centuries ‘An Item! Re/Construction,’ etc.
In 2017, under the guidance of Ms. Titova the Fashion and Design Centre was established. It is a special structural unit of the museum, which promotes Russian design, educational activities, and organizes discussion platforms on the most topical issues in the field of creative industries, industry policy, and sustainable development.
Among the Centre's key initiatives is the All-Russian competition-biennale of object design ‘Invented and Made in Russia’, which identifies and promotes talented authors whose works form the design heritage of the 21st century.
Thanks to the initiative of Ms. Titova, the Federal Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art represents creative industries in the Expert Council for Sustainable Development of the Russian Environmental Operator. This is a new opportunity for the museum to talk about the strategic role of design in the green transformation of the economy, to promote the principles of sustainable design and circular design, and to organize large-scale industry projects with the support of corporations.
Since 2023 Ms. Titova has been heading the Fashion and Design Committee at the CIS Business Centre for Economic Development as a strategic platform for effective interaction between industries of the Commonwealth countries.
