The article analyzes museum representations of communism in Poland from the perspective of exhibition strategies influencing the public understanding of the past. Over the past forty years, Western museums have increasingly moved away from the affirmative model of presenting the past, dominating since the nineteenth century, towards critical paradigms and even those pro-moting social activism. The analysis of Polish exhibitions devoted to recent history carried out from this perspective allows us to reveal the functions fulfilled by museum institutions in the Polish social and political reality.

The aim of the article is to critically analyze and deconstruct museum narratives about communism in Poland and Western Europe a quarter century after the transformation. The research material is museum exhibitions interpreted in accordance with the methodology of visual research (composition analysis, content analysis, analysis of material objects, and analysis of meanings). On this basis, the author distinguishes three basic models of creating museum exhibitions about communism and compares them with the permanent exhibition in the House of European History in Brussels. The purpose of the studied exhibitions is mainly to shape the collective memory of audiences by creating a canon of knowledge about the recent past. The article is part of a broader project of studying exhibitions about communism in Central-Eastern Europe.

W artykule wyodrębniono i poddano analizie trzy występujące w Polsce modele ekspozycji o komunizmie. Na konkretnych przykładach, takich jak: Europejskie Centrum Solidarności i Muzeum Powstania Poznańskiego – Czerwiec 1956 (model tożsamościowy), izby pamięci ofiar komunizmu i Muzeum ks. Jerzego Popiełuszki (model martyrologiczny) oraz Muzeum PRL i Czar PRL (model nostalgiczny) autorka zanalizowała odmienne cele i strategie wystawiennicze ekspozycji, dekonstruując ich narracje. Polskie wystawy zestawiała z fragmentem ekspozycji historycznej w Domu Historii Europejskiej w Brukseli, co pozwala zaakcentować różnice w postrzeganiu komunizmu w Polsce i w Europie Zachodniej.

The article is a methodological analysis of three studies by Jan Tomasz Gross (Neighbors, Fear, and Golden Harvest) and an attempt to reconstruct this scholar’s professed ideal of historical science determining the sense and goal of his cognitive activity. In the debates on those books the main disputes were over their factual level, leaving methodological issues aside, which were very seldom commented on. However, each of the three books in question can and should be a pretext for discussion on theoretical problems in historiography. The author of the article examines Gross’s methodological postulate which defines his ”new” approach to sources, his manner of understanding historical truth, the narrative language, and the proposed method of “dense description” as a way of solving the problem of translating episodic knowledge into general knowledge.
