The paper presents a biographical interview with Dr. Magdalena Rostworowska, an ethnographer and museologist, focusing on her professional experience. Her narrative gives us a valuable in sight into the development of the ethnological community in Wrocław with its main institutions: the Polish Ethnographic Atlas, the Polish Ethnological Society and the Ethnographical Museum, as well as the substantive dilemmas and choices of Polish ethnographers who began their research in post-war Lower Silesia.
