This article presents an analysis of Tadeusz Mańkowski’s book Galerja Stanisława Augusta as a material object. By focusing on such aspects of the book as the expensive in quarto format, the paper, the photographic illustrations, the leather binding, the supralibros with the King’s coat of arms and the bookplate with his signature, as well as on the history of its creation, distribution and popularisation, it considers it as a milestone in Polish art history. Arguably, the edition of the historical inventories of the royal collection of paintings, dismembered after 1795, is modelled on the most prestigious European examples of the Old Masters scholarship: Wilhelm von Bode’s and Cornelis Hofstede de Groot’s monumental Rembrandt’s multivolume in folio catalogue (1897-1907) and August Jaccaci’s and John La Farge’s Noteworthy Paintings in American Collections (the first and only volume issued in 1909).

This article seeks to contribute to the current debate on the new definition of the “museum” – a debate which led to turmoil at the 2019 ICOM General Assembly in Kyoto. With reference to the case study of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk (MSWW), it analyses the new and very successful genre of the narrative museum, a genre which arguably fulfils the core elements of the definition currently being discussed by ICOM. In this regard, it brings into focus the paramount importance of community involvement in creating and managing narrative museums – an aspect that has been virtually absent in the academic and media debates over the nature of the MSWW and its programme. By pointing out the fragility of the foundations for such participation, based solely on trust between communities, the museum, and state authorities, this article calls for and provides guidance for an academic and institutional redefinition of the narrative museum and the institution of a museum in general.
