The article analyzes the formation history and modern social practice of Novosibirsk academic town, the experience of institutions of the Siberian Branch of RAS and the public in preserving, studying, and presenting the scientific heritage. In 2014, Akademgorodok was officially recognized as an object of cultural heritage of the regional importance, a place of interest “Novosibirsk Akademgorodok”. In line with the innovative research trend of “mnemosophy” - the science of public memory - proposed by Tomislav S. Shola, the place of interest is presented as a form of public memory. New trends related to the correlation of heritage - identity - public memory problems were derived and studied in the framework of implementing the interdisciplinary scientific project “Modern trends in actualizing a historical experience of the identity formation in the Siberian region” by the Institute of History, SB RAS. The authors show that in Akademgorodok topos there are six socio-cultural complexes, which confirm the official status of Akademgorodok as a place of interest of the regional importance: museum, memorial-monumental, toponymical, intellectual-recreational, ecological complexes, and creative street-art-attractions. The scientific heritage representation in the museum units of academic institutions is the leading form of its actualization. Innovative forms are: thematic areas, spaces of free interpretation, interactive stands and creative installations in museum expositions. The prospects of interdisciplinary projects, IT-technologies, system and international partnership, training and recreational communications for implementing priority tasks of the “Strategy of Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation” are shown as well.
