According to new educational standards in Russia, the teacher’s professional activity is based on the application of modern educational resources which are provided by museums as well. The aim of this research work is to single out the main criteria of effective cooperation between the teachers and the staff of the Museum in the implementation of the educational projects. There has been conducted a research based on the example of the Museum of Earth Science of Lomonosov Moscow State University. More than 300 geography and ecology teachers in Moscow participated in the educational programs held between the years 2013 and 2017. We have studied the active participation of teachers and learners in the following projects: “Lessons in the Museum”, “University Saturdays”, Moscow Secondary School Contest “Museums. Parks. Estates”. The results of the study unraveled the criteria of effective implementation of the educational programs in the museum. These are: the ability of a secondary school teacher to prepare the learners for their visit to the Museum and the capability to independently develop the lesson plans based on the Museum’s expositions
