The open class was attended by the head of teaching practice, Zlika Omirbekovna Ibadullaeva, the teaching staff of the Department of Archaeology and Ethnology - Associate Professor Maral Kalymzhanovna Khabdulina, senior lecturers Tatyana Vasilyevna Koshman, and Kuanysh Aldabergenovich Iskakov.

During the lecture, the following topics were discussed: types of art and museum exhibitions, art and museum exhibitions: additions and features, the art of museum exhibitions and fiction, the art of museum exhibitions and theater, and the art of museum exhibitions and architecture, using the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan as an example.

The aim of the class was to broaden students' understanding of museum exhibitions as an independent form of artistic expression, as well as to reveal the interrelationships between exhibition art and architecture, design, scenography, visual arts, and contemporary multimedia practices.

The practical class used an informational-receptive method, which served as an introductory and organizational stage of the class. The doctoral student presented the students with systematic information on the principles of museum exhibition design, the peculiarities of the artistic language of exhibition space, and examples of the interaction of exhibitions with architecture, design, scenography, and artistic practices.

Fourth-year students were shown: layout plans for exhibition halls, examples of visual solutions from museum practice, samples of stand design, display cases, navigation and lighting solutions, and options for composition and visitor routing.

After the theoretical part, the students moved on to a practical task—developing their own exhibition fragment on the following topics: 1) The work of the cinema lecture hall, 2) Preparation of school excursions, and 3) Traveling exhibitions. The information obtained became the basis for making design decisions, selecting exhibits, composition, and graphic design. Thus, the information-receptive method ensured the preparation of students for successful practical activity, linking theory with its direct application in a professional task.
