A combination of several specific characteristics of modern times makes bioethical education necessary. First, visual presentation of information largely replaced the verbal one. Secondly, life itself became a product of technology, so it turned into an artefact. Thirdly, the pace of innovation reveals how frail the intellectual traditions are. Fourth, the innovations of convergent and biomedical technologies create new risks. And, finally, existence in the environment of new risks requires a new degree of responsibility for choice made by an individual. In this case, an individual must make both bodily and mental choice again and again. Bioethics is placed at the intersection of some trends: it protects the individuality from the arbitrariness of a biomedical operation, assess the new risks, retains the moral positions of philosophical traditions for determining the permissible limits of intervention of the artificial into the natural. From this perspective, the work is aimed to find an answer to the question, is it possible to adapt theories of perception of visual information to bioethical education in principle. For this purpose, the role of a museum in forming an attitude to unique artefacts is considered. By the example of the museum, an optimal combination of methods of psychological influence for developing the perception of visual information is shown. Based on this, it was concluded that the museum, which meets the abovementioned requirements, is suitable for bioethical education.
