In this paper I addressed the issue of the engagement of museums in climate change. The problem of climate change is so important in the current social context that, despite its difficult political connotations, it cannot be ignored by museums, especially if we consider a museum as an element of a public sphere. Climate change is a challenge in 21st century. Climate change will present challenges that are of long-term nature, multidimensional and global phenomenon. It could impact directly on museums. I assume museums can provide a safe place for dialogue around climate change. Museums can also inform publics about the science of climate change and help to equip people with knowledge, shape their attitudes and behaviour, and strengthen the mechanism of participation. Potential barriers in effective communication could be the problem of uncertainty of our knowledge about climate change, scientific discourse in the process of communication and getting visitors involved.

The memory of the past in a modern society finds its shelter in the walls of lieux de memoire, such as libraries, archives or museums. It is these institutions that we shift our responsibility for registering and storing everything that should be retained for future generations on. From this perspective, a museum can be perceived as a unit responsible for creating a social definition of heritage. Museologists, tidying a local, regional or national memory in an exhibition space, impose the vision of events and evaluation of past achievements on the audience. In a conscious or unconscious way, they participate in defining the truth about the past biding in a particular historical moment. A careful observation of changes happening in ways and styles of life in societies of late modernity shows limitations resulting from the Enlightenment museum discourse. A postmodernist blurring of a borderline between a high and low culture constitutes a starting point for going beyond fixed modes of thinking about museums as just dignified art institutions and temples of knowledge, and facilitates search for new tools in order to create a museum discourse using popular culture. Thus, museologists make efforts to make new exhibition arrangements adjusted to the present‑day expectations of the audience building and supporting bonds with the visitors, encouraging for discovering a potential of the artefacts presented, stimulating for a discussion with a suggested vision of the world or, generally speaking, to encourage undertaking cultural practices.

Teksty muzealne odgrywają ważną rolę w procesie komunikacji z publicznością. Celem artykułu jest przyjrzenie się, w jaki sposób muzealnicy używają tekstu obecnego w przestrzeni wystawienniczej do włączenia widza w aktywny proces zwiedzania. Przedmiotem analizy są wystawy historyczne oraz prezentujące sztukę po 1945 roku. Analiza zgromadzonego materiału empirycznego wykazała, że muzealnicy wykorzystują co najmniej cztery strategie angażowania widzów w prezentowaną wystawę: posługują się chwytliwymi tytułami; używają strony czynnej i słów wzbudzających emocje; posiłkują się cytatami; umieszczają obiekty w szerszym kontekście kulturowym. Strategie te można potraktować jako wskaźnik zmiany statusu publiczności w przestrzeni muzealnej – muzea w coraz większym stopniu starają się traktować odwiedzających jak partnerów w procesie komunikacji.

The aim of this article is to analyse the concept of educational turn and its impact on everyday museum practices. It seeks to explore whether educational turn can effectively change the relations of power in a museum. The text studies how such model of comprehending and producing art affects the relationship between curators and educators. The discussion of problems related to the implementation of projects reveals that the chances for developing alternative, mainly dialogue-based, ways of producing knowledge in a museum are higher once the experience and competence of curators and educators are combined.
