Memorial architecture is one of the most important resources for self-identification of society and the state. Recently, there has been a renewed interest of the population and tourists in memorial and museum complexes, and their attendance has increased. Old objects are being actively reconstructed, new ones are being built. The paper provides positive and negative examples of architectural illumination of memorial complexes. The techniques and means of lighting design are considered by the example of a number of reconstructed and newly created lighting installations. 1. Oleinikov P.P. Master of Architecture of Volgograd.
