The article attempts to reconstruct the aesthetical category of imaginarium by Andre Malraux. Malraux approached it on various levels: imaginative space of culture participant, artistic creation, museum a set of meanings, cultural codes and symbols. The category is a key to perception of the world where meanings and senses are both interpreted and constituted. The metaphor of imaginarium allows the French thinker to trace the way culture develops its meanings and senses as well as gives opportunity for an analysis of interactions between cutures. It is by imaginarium, its symbolic and meanings cutures develop as well as contact each other, leading to birth of new meanings and symbols.

The largest and pitiless concentration camp in the fascist Croatia was located in Jasenovac on the Sava river, near the Bosnian border. In early 1960s the memorial site and museum was founded there. The article proposes an analyze of the public debate in Croatia in 2004-2006, related to the complete change of the museum exposition. Supporters of the change emphasize new perspective of commemoration, individualization of a victim, and giving him/her the dignity back. On the other side are opponents which point out that the change can obscure the Croatian responsibility for the crime, and strengthens the revisionist policy towards the NDH (Croatian fascist state during the 2nd world war). As it turned out, the organization of the museum is related to the most important problems of the Croatian identity and the interpretation of the past.

EN
This account describes the activity of the Museum in functional terms and reports on the 45-year presence in Słupsk of the Witkacy collection. The presence of Witkacy’s work in Słupsk was instigated by an initial acquisition of 110 works which were brought to Słupsk in 1965. This was part of a post-war endeavour aimed at countering the influence of Germanic traditions then present in the region. In a short space of time the collection of works by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz became the primary museum collection of Słupsk, eclipsing all other collections including. The museum now works with the City Council in a three-fold way: through exhibition, educational outreach, and as part of broader promotional activity of the City of Słupsk. However, perhaps the Museum's most important measure of success is the international scholastic conferences dedicated to the life and work of Witkiewicz.

This paper presents Polish regulation regarding “right of first offer” in the Museum Act. Author explains the legal nature and allocation of this institution within Polish legal system. The analysis is conducted from perspective of axiology and legal dogma, while the provision under scrutiny is reviewed in the light of constitutional protection of ownership’s right. Moreover, this regulation’s mayor cons are pointed out which result from imprecise usage of terms of legal language for drafting this regulation’s provisions. Consequently, this regulation hardly can be applied, therefore it does not protect monuments as effective as it should be, as it was intended by the Legislator.

During the two-month excavation season, the space of the south pastophorium of the basilica was examined. Excavations in the north part of utility rooms were related to the previous season, and focused mainly on searching for the proper entrance to the “cellar” located below those rooms (# 30, # 33, # 34, # 35), where the deposit of jugs discovered in 2009 (124 items), coins, glass and terracotta were found. Because of annually increasing considerable deterioration of the piers, caused mainly by weather conditions and environment pollution, during the discussed season we made the effort of inventorying the above mentioned structures. In Marea, which used to be a lake port, there are four piers which may have been used for loading and unloading cargo ships and river boats of shallow draught, as well as taking and serving the incoming passengers.

To properly present the fate of the collection and the Museum one should go back to the times of the Krakow Scientific Society within which the Museum of State Antiquities was established in 1850. Altogether during the period when the Society existed, the Museum acquired several thousand coins, medals, commemorative objects and archaeological artefacts from all annexed territories. After World War II ended, the Museum operated in the area of southern Poland. The majority of incoming artefacts came from excavations conducted on behalf of the Museum. Among donations were e.g. numerous artefacts from Egypt.

The aim of the article is to present the results of a quantitative survey of marketing managers in Polish museums on the marketing communication tools used in these institutions. The survey was conducted using the CAWI method in 2017 on a group of 85 marketing managers in museums. In the study, the scope of application and the importance of particular marketing communication tools for museums were established. It has been shown that advertising and Public Relations have a key role in the promotion of museums, in particular contact with the media and the organization of events. This study shows that a large group of Polish museums uses a fairly narrow range of marketing communication tools and that they only sporadically reach for modern communication tools. The article also presents the factors that have a positive and negative impact on the possibility of implementing effective marketing communication in museums.

The beginning of historical-military museology in Poznan dates back to the mid-19th century when the Poznan Society of Friends of Learning assumed the responsibility to save historic monuments, and began to establish the Museum of Polish and Slavic Antiquities in the Grand Duchy of Posen (Poznan). The task was to collect archival, library, and museum materials, including militaria. As a result of these efforts, in 1882, the Mielżynski Museum was established which boasted an exquisite painting gallery, containing historical painting, a rich archaeological and military collection, and a sizeable collection of so-called historical mementoes: weapons, orders, decorations, etc. In the aftermath of the Greater Poland Uprising 1918 –1919, the Hindenburg Museum founded in 1916–1918 was transformed into a Military Museum. The ceremonial opening was held on 27 October 1919 by Józef Piłsudski, Poland’s Chief of State. The quickly growing collection was moved from Marcinkowskiego Avenue to the barracks in Bukowska Street, and subsequently to a new seat at 1 Artyleryjska Street in Poznan. The solemn opening of the Wielkopolska Military Museum was held on 22 April 1923 by the Commander of the 7th Corps District Major-General Kazimierz Raszewski. In 1939, anticipating the threat of war, the most precious objects were evacuated eastwards, and looted there. The items which stayed behind ended up in German museums. The mementoes connected with the history of the Polish military were destroyed, and the Museum was wound up. The first attempts at reactivating the Museum following WW II failed. It was only with the 1956 revolt that civil and military authorities changed their approach, The National Museum in Poznan undertook the first efforts. The Museum did not go back to its pre-WW II seat, but found home in a modern building in the Old Market Square in Poznan, to be ceremoniously launched on 22 February 1963 by the Commander of the Operational Air Force in Poznan Brigadier General Pilot Jan Raczkowski. Having recreated its collection, the Wielkopolska Military Museum, already as a Branch of the National Museum in Poznan, has held many exhibitions and shows. Moreover, it has released many publications, and run a broad range of educational activities. Among other projects, it has also made reference to the pre-WW II Museum. On 27 December 2019, a new jubilee exhibition ‘Wielkopolska Military Museum 1919–2019’ recording the 100-years’ history of the oldest historical-military museum in Poland was inaugurated.

In the situation of insufficient subsidies for the substantive activities of museums, primarily the ones funded by the local governments, as well as low attendance of visitors, not really interested in the traditional offer of such institutions, there is an urgent need to extend it with additional elements corresponding to the expectations of a contemporary client. The observation of the thriving museums in Poland and worldwide indicates that cultural events represent such an attractive component which expands the museum offer. The article presents an attempt of explaining the role of cultural events in developing a museum product based on the analysis of a specific case of the Municipal Museum Gerhart Hauptmann’s House in Jelenia Góra-Jagniątków.

The article is a result of a field research conducted in Computerspielemuseum in Berlin, Arcade Hry in Prague and Video Games Consoles Museum in Karpacz (Poland). The exhibition arrangements in each of these places led to a question about nostalgic aspect of the museums, in which the traditional layout and narration of exposition contrast with the interactive space. The notion of nostalgia is the center of my research. There are however different concepts of nostalgia (as a form of memory) among the researchers studying this subject. The point that emerges is the understanding of the past that we long for. I am interested also in how the distance between the visitor and the exhibition is at once maintained and broken. This leads to the question about it being the crucial cause of awakening our nostalgia. That is why I attach importance both to the exhibition arrangement and the modes of visitors’ experience. I also consider the affective aspect of this project, in which playing the game is one of the aforementioned modes of experiencing the exhibition. I argue that the engagement video games require is the main reason why we remember our experiences, therefore it is more likely to trigger our nostalgic emotions.

City museums have been guardians of city treasures. They illuminate the city’s finest hours and the high points of its history. 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. 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. Today is perhaps a greater recognition than before that city museums are dealing not just with city treasures, but with the lives of people and their interaction with each other and with their urban environment. Museum can be a unique resource for the better understanding of the city’s present – it can provide an informed platform for planning the city’s future, it can be a forum for debate and discussion to enable city people to contribute actively to their city’s development.
