The paper deals with various practices and methods for actualization of the scientific information in art excursions. The modern society is characterized by commitment to information richness. The range of cultural and historical materials used as the basis for art excursions is really immense. However if to consider the number of excursions with elaborated structure, then the excursions devoted to art will certainly be in the minority. And after such excursions the excursionists are left with many questions in their minds. The objects of art have their own criteria, specifics and peculiarities. To realize them and to comprehend them scientifically--at the theoretical level--is the relevant task of the art experts and critics.
