The paper discusses the preparation of an exhibition devoted to paediatric surgery at the Medical University. It is relatively young medical specialisation, practiced by a rather limited group of medical professionals. The knowledge on this subject is also limited, even among health care specialists. The paper provides the most important information on paediatric surgery and attempts at identifying target visitor groups and issues which may be of interest for them. The various expectations and areas of particular interest have been indicated, depending on age, education and reasons for visiting the museum. The paper is an introduction to further discussion on the development and on how to display of the collection at the museum of the Medical University.

Aim. The aim of this work is to present a qualitative analysis of the creative educational materials prepared by preservice teachers in the context of an educational experience around a museum exhibition about Science and Literature, described in a previous work (Authors, 2020). The responses to a final questionnaire about interdisciplinarity, integration of Sciences and Arts or the use of museums for children’s education are also analysed. Methods. The participants were 121 alumni of two different subjects “Natural Sciences for teachers” and “Literary training for teachers” at a Spanish university. Preservice teachers had to select an item of the museum exhibition and, as a group, prepare a catalogue intended for children, where they had to write a short text related to the object and activities for children in an exercise of didactic transposition. The students generated teaching materials with a high component of creativity and a multimodal approach, with a mixture of linguistic and non-linguistic codes. The qualitative analysis of these creative teaching materials was carried out with Atlas.ti v8. To assess the experience a questionnaire about different aspects of the proposal was completed by the students at the end of the semester. Results and conclusion. The analysis of the teaching materials demonstrates differences between the alumni attending both subjects in the type of items selected, the literary genre of the short text and the prepared activities. The responses to the final questionnaire give us an insight on the reasons for the item selection and show how most of the students considered the experience as very interesting and formative. We can conclude that the educational experience here described served as an exercise to internalise the benefits of this method and, at the same time, adapt it for their future students in Primary Education.

Organisation of exhibitions from the point of view of copyright (Act on Copyright and Related Rights of 4 Feb. 1994, further copyright) is a multifaceted issue. The analysis conducted in the paper boils down to some selected aspects: beginning with the right to display, through exhibition as a separate copyrighted work, up to the exhibition author, namely curator. When purchasing items for collections or acquiring them on the ground of a loan contract, museums should make sure the work can be exploited through public display. Such agreement can be either expressed in the contract (rights or licence transfer) or can be implicit (it can be then assumed that non-exclusive licence with all its limitations has been transferred). Furthermore, the construction of fair use from Art. 32.1 of Act on Copyright can be applicable. An issue apart is the question of exhibition as a separate copyrighted work. It can be a co-authored work in the case when it combines creative efforts of e.g. curator and author of the exhibition layout. The article analyses exhibition understood as a collection of exhibits selected and arranged following a script or presented following a layout in order to fulfil the assumptions of a derivative work (Art. 2 Act on Copyright) or a collection (Art. 3 Act on Copyright). As a result of the assumption that exhibition is a work, the curator becomes an author, thus will have copyright to the created work. Depending on the formal curator-museum relationship, the author’s economic rights shall either be transferred to the museum (employee’s work, specific-task contract with rights transfer or licence granting), or shall exceptionally remain with the author.

The fact that the model of a museum institution established in the 19th century needs to be changed has been mentioned at least since the mid-20th century. Defined as a modern or modernistic museum, it was the result of deep social changes which took place in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the essence of its mission was faith in the Enlightenment ideals, especially in knowledge and development, as well as the conviction of the superiority of the Western world over the rest of the world at the time, and also the need to define national identity in the process of forming nation-states. Judging from the opinions of researchers, critics and museum professionals, there are two distinct points of view regarding the functioning of this model in the contemporary world. Some conceive of the museum as a distinct realm, removed from social and political forces, whereas others see it as democratising access to art, and even as politically correct when they attempt to include groups formerly omitted from history.Among the phenomena and trends which may result in the current museum model being changed, new technologies, commercialisation and globalisation are mentioned. The author also suggests adding elements like a change in the character of the museum institution in the light of the great museum boom in Far Eastern countries, especially in China, the United Arab Emirates, Africa and South America, as well as problems connected with the new social hierarchy, or with the generational diversity of museum visitors. Changes may also be elicited by the increasing number of private museums and their impact on museum practices. A public museum, in order to face economic possibilities and the dynamics of private museums, will have to be open not only for the public but also for its collections, which in principle have to date been untouchable and closed for ethical rather than legal reasons.On the basic of these reflections, the author believes that the museum institution will be continuously open to collecting, researching and conserving art objects as well as to diverse educational activity, open to other than traditional forms of contact with the objects it collects, and open to various museum narratives not limited by conventions or academic limitations. What is more, exhibitions organised by museums will more frequently be used as a tool in social politics and in so-called soft diplomacy. Under the influence of the market economy and the dynamics of private museums, public museums will adopt more functional ways of administration, financing and managing museum property, and in the face of new forms of social communication they will reorganise their marketing departments. The organisation of blockbuster exhibitions will still remain an important element of the activity of worldwide art museums. In Poland, museums will be employed more strongly than ever in the state’s strategy aimed at minimising the civilisation gap with respect to developed EU countries.

O potrzebie zmiany ukształtowanego w XIX w. modelu instytucji muzealnej mówi się przynajmniej od poł. XX stulecia. Model ten, określany jako muzeum nowoczesne, lub modernistyczne był wytworem głębokich przemian społecznych, które miały miejsce w Europie w XVIII i XIX w., a istotę jego misji stanowiła wiara w oświeceniowe ideały, głównie w wiedzę i postęp oraz przekonanie o cywilizacyjnej wyższości świata zachodniego nad resztą ówczesnego świata, jak też potrzeba definiowania tożsamości narodowych w procesie powstawania państw narodowych. Sądząc z wypowiedzi uczonych, krytyków i muzealników rysują się jednak dwa różniące się stanowiska odnośnie istnienia tego modelu we współczesnym świecie. Jedni widzą muzeum nadal jako oddzielny świat, z dala od społecznych i politycznych nacisków, a drudzy jako demokratyczny sposób dostępu do sztuki, a nawet jako instytucję poprawną politycznie, usiłującą przyciągnąć do siebie wykluczone przez historię grupy społeczne.Wśród zjawisk i trendów, które mogą wpłynąć na zmianę dotychczasowego modelu muzeum wymienia się nowe technologie, komercjalizację i globalizację. Autor proponuje dodać też takie, jak zmiana charakteru instytucji muzealnej pod wpływem ogromnego boomu muzealnego w krajach dalekiego wschodu, głównie w Chinach, w Emiratach Arabskich, w Afryce i Ameryce Południowej, jak też problemy związane z nową hierarchizacją społeczną, czy z pokoleniowym zróżnicowaniem publiczności muzealnej. Na zmianę wpłynąć też może wzrastająca liczba prywatnych muzeów i ich wpływ na praktykę muzealną. Muzeum publiczne, by sprostać ekonomicznym możliwościom i dynamice muzeów prywatnych, będzie musiało być otwarte nie tylko dla publiczności, ale też dla swych kolekcji, dotychczas w zasadzie niedotykalnych i zamkniętych, bardziej etycznymi niż prawnymi barierami.Na podstawie przedstawionych rozważań autor uważa, że instytucja muzealna będzie: nadal nastawiona na kolekcjonowanie, badanie i konserwację obiektów oraz na różnorodną działalność edukacyjną; otwarta na inne, niż tradycyjne, formy kontaktu z kolekcjonowanymi obiektami; otwarta na różnorakie, nie ograniczone konwenansem i akademickimi rygorami, narracje muzealne. A także: organizowane przez muzeum wystawy znacznie częściej niż dotychczas będą wykorzystywane jako narzędzia polityki społecznej i w tzw. miękkiej dyplomacji; muzea publiczne pod wpływem impulsów ze strony gospodarki rynkowej i dynamiki muzeów prywatnych przyjmą bardziej funkcjonalne sposoby zarządzania, finansowania i gospodarowania majątkiem muzealnym, a w obliczu nowych form komunikacji społecznej przebudują swoje komórki odpowiedzialne za działania marketingowe; ważnym elementem działalności światowych muzeów sztuki pozostaną nadal organizowane przez nie wielkoskalowe wystawy czasowe; w Polsce muzea będą znacznie silniej, niż dotychczas, wykorzystywane w strategii państwa do minimalizowania dystansu cywilizacyjnego w stosunku do rozwiniętych państw Unii Europejskiej.

The contemporary “reading” of history and the narrative of the past can assume various forms, one of which are museum exhibitions, including narratives presented by history museums. The purpose of this article is to provide a reflection on the account of the Second World War, presented at the exhibition Cracow under Nazi Occupation from 1939 to 1945 in Schindler’s Factory, which is now part of the Historical Museum of Cracow. A visible change has been observed over several years in the way of organizing exhibitions in Polish museums, which combines various techniques of presentation in the form of a specific collage. How does this exhibition narrate the past? By what means do its authors compose this narrative? And, finally, can a modernly designed exhibition touch such a painful subject as war and how can it do that? Places that commemorate the events of the Nazi occupation have so far found themselves in different parts of Cracow. Therefore, the memories of them seemed to be fragmentary. The authors of the exhibition in Schindler’s Factory have endeavoured to unify these memories of the wartime experiences of Cracow and its inhabitants. Further deliberations are preceeded by a brief outline of the history of museology, with particular emphasis placed on its contemporary dimension, that is, the so-called open or narrative museum.
