The study attempts to follow up the process of formation of the museum-pedagogical definitions that process along with establishment of the museum pedagogics as the branch of interdisciplinary knowledge. The use in the museum pedagogics of the terms and concepts of a number of humanitarian sciences results in appearance of the new notions and meanings. This refers both to the concept ‘museum pedagogics’ itself and to a number of other terms the appearance of which is related to changes in the role of a museum in the society and the new functions of it. Firstly, this refers to the recreational function that is actively fulfilled during the last decade in the Russian museums. The correlation between enhancement of the museum functions and appearance of new definitions is investigated. Specification of the term content is also related to origination of different approaches to classification of the forms of the museum-pedagogical activity, clarification of the basic attributes on the basis of which it is performed. Both in the educational and recreational programs, the interactive techniques are widely used the implementation of which requires engagement of different specialists and as the result, leads to enhancement of the professional vocabulary of a museum pedagogue.
