The paper sets a task to stress the potential of Culture Education in the process of Lifelong Learning. Some of the educational activities of cultural institutions will be presented. The text also pays attention to specific functions of culture in human life and Culture Education will be introduced as a specific field that has an unexceptionable position in contemporary educational system as well as a long tradition, although its potential has rather been neglected so far.
