The article deals with physical evidence of games deposited in archaeological sub-collection of Silesian Museum in Opava. First, it is necessary to divide the world of games into games for children and for adults. The main element of any game is entertainment. However, children and adults have different reasons for playing. Games for children often simulate the adult world and are connected with the process of learning. In adulthood games have different reason; they usually do not lead towards knowledge but to the release of excess energy and satisfaction of natural need of relaxation. In this text, the items intended for games are divided into toys for children and parts of game sets meant for adults. The distinction between these categories may be unclear. Following the general information and problems of interpretation, the article deals with individual types of toys or game sets represented in the archaeological sub-collection of Silesian Museum in Opava. The text refers to catalogue which is included at the end of the article.

A critical assessment of the contemporary state of the new Silesian Museum in Katowice has been presented. In the Author’s view, the institution has currently reached an organizational crisis resulting from the process of losing its genuine idea rooted in its new seat and from the gradual blurring of the concept of its new mission. The reflections presented in the paper are based on data analysis: the official documents produced by the Silesian Museum in Katowice, media materials which comment on its activity, as well as on the participant observation from the perspective of an insider: of the Silesian community and of an institution’s academic affiliate. The ambitious and modern vision of the new Silesian Museum basing on the rehabilitation of the post-industrial area of the former ‘Katowice’ Coal Mine constitutes a chance to enjoy the ‘second life’ by the post-mining sites. The Katowice institution undertook the mission of creating space for the dialogue with the past and accomplishments of the present in order to better know Silesia, Poland, and Europe. Regrettably, inept actions of the decision-makers, chaos related to the position of the Museum’s Director, failed attempts to merge the Museum with the Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom, lack of understanding for the supranational, universal message related to the region’s history, have led to losing the genuine idea and blurring of the selected mission. The crisis that the Silesian Museum has been suffering is politically underpinned, and results from the use of museum institutions instrumentally by the authorities in order to fulfill their short-term goals. The decision makers of the Silesian Museum will in the near future have to choose between two operating formulas: they can either follow the conservative way, implying stagnation and becoming a closed ‘shrine-like museum’, or aspire to be a venue for the Silesian dialogue, turning into an open ‘museum-forum’.

W 2012 r. politycy i niektórzy historycy zablokowali przygotowania do pierwszej (po 1989 r.) stałej wystawy historii Górnego Śląska. Historia Śląska okazała się budzić o wiele więcej kontrowersji i wyszła poza ramy opowiadania historii w muzeum. Projekt i wytyczne scenariusza wystawy były konsultowane od 2010 r. ze specjalistami i w toku m.in. badań fokusowych. Zarówno wynik badań, jak i analiza ekspertów określiły współczesną historię (XIX i XX wieku) jako kluczowy okres dla zrozumienia dziedzictwa regionu. Autorzy projektu chcieli zastąpić niektóre mity narodowe i regionalne nowymi kategoriami interpretacji, jak m.in. nowoczesność, industrializacja, pojawienie się nowego krajobrazu kulturowego czy zmiana ról społecznych spowodowana rozwijającym się przemysłem. Wystawa miała pokazać historię G. Śląska z perspektywy Polski i Niemiec cy (i Czech), których obecność kulturalna itd. była znacząca w historii Górnego Śląska. Poszukiwano uniwersalną interpretacji rezygnując z narodowych odniesień w jej przebiegu. Projekt został odrzucony, a scenariusz, rezygnował z wielonarodowej perspektywy.
