The Second European Heritage Forum ”Heritage, creativity and innovation" was held in Ljubljana on 23 September 2009. About a hundred specialists on the protection and promotion of the cultural heritage, representing numerous institutions responsible for this particular domain, attended the meeting. The Forum involved ”round table” plenary discussions inspired by two sessions: ”Innovation and creativity in heritage interpretation” and ”Heritage and images”. The conclusions and most important points of the discussion were collected and summed up in a General Rapporteur, separately after each session and at the end of the Forum, in the form of conclusions and recommendations. One of the presentations dealt with the accomplishments of the Polish History Museum outlined by its director, Robert Kostro, recommended by the National Heritage Board of Poland. Information, commentaries and conclusions from the plenary discussion as well as a summary of the Forum are available on: www.coe.int An annual convention of European Heritage Days coordinators, who met on 24 September, considered the outcome of the Second European Heritage Forum from the point of view of the organisation and contents of events associated with European Heritage Days in particular countries. The participants also discussed an eventual change of the term of the annual conventions and a proposal of a joint theme for all countries. Another topic was the twentieth anniversary of European Heritage Days. The representative of Slovenia prepared an interesting and cohesive summary of the heretofore organisational development of European Heritage Days. The convention also accepted a proposal of meeting next year in Istanbul.

The construction of the headquarters of the Museum of the Polish History (Polish: Muzeum Historii Polski) has become one of the longest investments in the area of culture financed from the state budget, and probably one of the most expensive. It took seventeen years from the establishment of the Museum in 2006 to the termination of the construction works in 2023, and the costs of the project implementation (including the permanent exhibition) will exceed PLN 1.2 billion. By 2015, the support for the construction of the permanent headquarters of the Museum was provided through earmarked subsidies for financing or co-financing of the investment’s costs. While in 2015, the Council of Ministers took a decision to create the multiannual programme “Construction of the Museum of the Polish History” that was modified three times (in 2017, in 2018 and in 2021). The initiative was audited by the Supreme Audit Office twice. In 2015, NIK conducted the audit “Construction of museums in Poland in the years 2007–2015” which examined, among others, the construction of the headquarters of the Museum of the Polish History. In 2022, NIK carried out the planned audit “Construction of the Museum of the Polish History”, exclusively dedicated to this very investment. The question that defined the main objective of the audit read: “Was the construction of the headquarters and the permanent exhibition of the Museum of the Polish History properly prepared and realised?”. The results of the audit, which covered the years 2016–2022 (by the date of terminating the proceedings) were presented in the post-audit statement approved by the President of NIK on 12 January 2023. The article presents the main findings of the audit, referring also to the 2015 results.

Budowa siedziby Muzeum Historii Polski okazała się jedną z najdłużej trwających inwestycji w dziedzinie kultury finansowanych z budżetu państwa oraz prawdopodobnie jedną z najdroższych. Od momentu utworzenia Muzeum w 2006 r. do czasu zakończenia prac budowlanych w 2023 r. upłynęło 17 lat, a koszty realizacji projektu (wraz z wystawą stałą) przekroczą 1,2 mld zł. Najwyższa Izba Kontroli dwukrotnie – w ramach kontroli planowych w 2015 r. i w 2022 r. – sprawdzała budowę placówki, przy czym ostatnie badanie skoncentrowano wyłącznie na ocenie rzetelności przygotowania i wykonania inwestycji oraz wystawy stałej. Artykuł prezentuje najważniejsze ustalenia NIK.

In the introduction, this paper refers to two previous actions aimed at extracting dugout boats from the bottom of Lake Lednica (in 1960 and 1982). The main part of the text presents the third action, carried out in 2016 by underwater archaeologists and students from the Department of Underwater Archaeology, Nicolaus Copernicus University. The paper explains the subsequent stages and procedures of investigations. All the difficulties and complications that arose from the circumstances of the deposition, the raw material from which the boat was made and the size of the object are emphasised. As shown by the 1997 study, the boat is made of wood from the lime tree. The boat is now 930 cm in length and 86 cm in width. The bow looks like a slightly oval pyramid; the stern was formed in the shape of a small overhang and could have been about 1 m longer. The dugout has three bulkheads: the first is the same height as the sides, the second one is shorter than the sides by about 6 cm and the third, formed stepwise (?), starts at the same height as the starboard and keeps this height to the crack, after which it is gradually lowered, going down about 5 cm below the port. The average thickness of the starboard is 5.5 cm, while the port is 4.5 cm thick. The thickness of the bottom at the stern break, ranges from 4 cm to 8.5 cm; in other breaks, it reaches as much as 19 cm. The dugout boat is poorly preserved. It has at least nine transverse cracks and one longitudinal crack ending at the first bulkhead. Part of the damage dated certainly back from the period of the destruction of the bridge; however, a thin layer of sediments covering the side or bulkhead wood did not protect the dugout from the anchors of modern fishing boats. The boat was dated using the C14 method (680 ± 120 BP); calibrated, this points to a very wide range of dates, between 980 and 1454. However, a stratigraphic analysis indicates that the boat fell to the bottom sometime between the period the bridge was completed (964) and the last major repair of the bridge captured by dendrochronological analyses (1023). The first stage of the action consisted in the underwater exploration of the bottom deposits with a water-type ejector. This was used for removing the sediments filling the inside of the boat and those within a belt of a small width on the outside of the sides of the dugout, so that they were clearly visible to a height of approx. 10 cm. The boat was filled with a layer consisting of a large number of strongly compacted chips, which produced a few artefacts: 11 potsherds, five bone fragments and a handle of a wooden cup that was preserved in two fragments. After the whole boat had been cleaned, underwater measurements were taken, which enabled the detailed drawing documentation of the dugout in situ. The second stage consisted in cleaning the area outside the boat with 25–30 cm wide and approx. 40 cm-deep trenches running along both sides of the boat and below them. The sides were cleaned gradually, in 2 m long-fragments, to prevent uncontrolled suction of the boat from the bottom and to reduce the possibility of accidental damage. After completing the exploration of each fragment, separated from the others with natural cracks, the released parts were slipped onto a properly prepared tin ‘trough’, surfaced using a buoyancy balloon and transported close to the shore.In the third stage of the campaign, special frames were prepared for each of the nine elements. After the individual parts had been put on the frames in water, they were brought to the surface with them, secured and transported to the Conservation Laboratory in Toruń. After completing all conservation and reconstruction procedures, the dugout boat will be made available to visitors at the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw.
