Abstract: In two and a half years since the discovery of the Higgs boson, many particle physicists have gone the whole route from skepticism about the existence of this particle to contentment with its Standard-Model-like properties. In reality, we have hardly begun to explore the secrets of the Higgs boson. In this lecture, I will review the coming program of precision measurement of the Higgs boson properties. I will discuss the level of precision needed in this study to test theoretical models, the prospects for high-precision theoretical calculation of the Standard Model reference values, and the prospects for high-precision measurements at the LHC and the ILC.
