It is the assumptions, goals, and effects of the newpermanent display mounted at the Museum of King John III’sPalace at Wilanów titled Art Collecting in the Potocki Familythat are the topic of the present paper. The Exhibition presentsa less known fragment of the Wilanów Palace’s history whenit was owned by the Potockis: Aleksandra née Lubomirski andStanisław Kostka, their son Aleksander, and grandson Augustand his spouse Aleksandra née Potocki. The three generationsof the Pilawa-coat-of-arms family wrote a new, albeit extremelyimportant chapter in the history of the former royaland magnate residence, placing in it the Museum of Art andthe Memorial Site of the history of the Polish nation for almosta hundred years The Potockis amassed artistic collections andnational mementoes, and introduced changes to the layout ofthe private spaces of the residence in order to adjust them toserving museum purposes. In harmony with the Potockis’ idea,the systematically growing collection turned into a treasureopened to the general public. It is the first entry in the WilanówGuest Book: 5 August 1805 that is regarded to have been thelaunch of the Museum’s public operation.In its narrative and layout the new display refers to thePotockis’ Museum. The interiors of the garden gallery on thePalace’s first floor have been transformed according to ico-nographic records from the 19th and early 20th century. In the southern gallery we remind of the Library once functioninghere, in the northern one, in turn, we recall Warsaw’s importantcultural event from 1856: Exhibition of Antiquities.As a result of the introduced changes new display spaceshave been created: the Historical Cabinet, Print Cabinet, andthe Iconographic Cabinet. The first is dedicated to nationalmementoes, whereas the latter two are cosy display roomsof objects on paper.

Their authors methodically applied oral historyto investigate the Museum’s history, following which theycommissioned a non-Museum affiliate to prepare texts onthe grounds of the conversations. The selection of interviewees,encompassing curators, conservators, individualsresponsible for education, or administrative staff allowedto describe the aspects of the operations of the Museumof Art, events, and individuals, previously only marginallypresent in the to-date publications on the Lodz institution.Not really being a monograph, the book signals motifswhich could be tackled in the course of the preparation ofthe future history of the Museum of Art, going beyond theparadigm of the existing stories about the institution’s history,such as its functioning in the times of the political andeconomic crisis in the 1980s, the operations following the1989 transformation, employee relations, or the organic,including the non-human dimension of a museum. It alsoposes questions about functioning of museums, their roleand organization, currently and in the future.

In 1955–1987, the Directorate of Museums andMonument Preservation (until 1959: Central Directorateof Museums and Monument Preservation), a structuralunit of the Ministry of Culture and Art, published BiuletynInformacyjny, a bulletin dedicated to documenting theactivity of museums in Poland. In 1955-1959, it was calledBiuletyn Informacyjny Centralnego Zarządu Muzeówi Ochrony Zabytków, while in 1959–1987, it was publishedunder the name Biuletyn Informacyjny Zarządu Muzeówi Ochrony Zabytków. It was published as a bimonthly ora quarterly with a limited circulation (400–600 copies),and was delivered to museums. The following served as itssubsequent Editors-in-Chief: Mieczysław Ptaśnik (until 1972),Stanisław Brzostowski (until 1976), and Franciszek Midura(until 1987). The core content of the publication coveredshort factual information reporting on definite achievementsof particular museums or Minister’s initiatives, as well aslonger papers authored in their majority by the EditorialStaff and museum curators who submitted their materials.Informative texts were included in the sections whosenames altered. The most important of them were as follows:I. ‘Research and Academic Discoveries’, II. ‘Publications’,III. ‘Exhibitions’, IV. ‘New Acquisitions’, V. ‘EducationalActions’, VI. ‘Conservation Works’, VII. ’Foreign Cooperation’,VIII. ‘Foreign Museums’, IX. ‘Conferences’, X. ‘Communiqués’,XI. ‘Papers’. Despite bearing features of a journal publishedunder the ideological and political control of the Communistregime, the Biuletyn Informacyjny Zarządu Muzeów i OchronyZabytków bulletin essentially constitutes a reliable source forthe history of Polish museology in 1955-1987.
1955-1987 年间，文化和艺术部下属的博物馆和纪念碑保护局（1959 年之前为博物馆和纪念碑保护中央局）出版了一份专门记录波兰博物馆活动的公报《BiuletynInformacyjny》。1955-1959 年，该刊物名为《Biuletyn Informacyjny Centralnego Zarządu Muzeówi Ochrony Zabytków》；1959-1987 年，该刊物以《Biuletyn Informacyjny Zarządu Muzeówi Ochrony Zabytków》的名称出版。它以双月刊或季刊的形式出版，发行量有限（400-600 份），并交付给博物馆。以下几位曾担任该杂志的主编：Mieczysław Ptaśnik（至 1972 年）、Stanisław Brzostowski（至 1976 年）和 Franciszek Midura（至 1987 年）。该出版物的核心内容包括报告特定博物馆或部长倡议的明确成就的简短事实信息，以及由编辑部和提交材料的博物馆馆长撰写的长篇论文。其中最重要的内容如下：I.研究与学术发现"，II.

The article discusses the complexity of identity,the interdependence of social and cultural identity, andtheir relationship with museum education. The Authoremphasizes that an individual’s identity is shaped both bytheir membership in a social group and the internalizationof its cultural values. With respect to museums, institutionalemployment contributes to identity formation, whilecultural identity stems from museum narratives. The Authoranalyzes individual identity as a manifestation of cognitiveconservatism influenced by neurophysiological mechanisms.The Author argues that museum education can play a significantrole in transforming individual identity, especially by exposingindividuals to diverse perspectives and values. The researchindicating the potential for lasting changes in preferences asa result of educational activities is cited. The Author highlightsthe importance of social bonds formed within the museum,and suggests expanding the perspective of relational art toinclude the experiences of museum education. Furthermore,it is also emphasized that museum education initiatives shouldnot be viewed as tools for analyzing the museum institutionbut as opportunities for participants to express themselves andbuild connections with one another.

Artefacts made of and from untypical materialswith the use of sophisticated techniques preserved in museumsconstitute an exceptional challenge to museum curators. Suchis the case of two letters described in the paper, written onbirch bark by someone signed as the female: Janka and Jaśkadispatched to her mother from the Soviet Polovinka Gulag inthe Urals in 1946 and 1947. Currently, the artefacts are in thecollection of the Museum of Rev. Józef Jarzębowski in LicheńStary, while their history was explained only in the 2010s. In2022, the letters underwent museum conservation, whichallowed to find out what material they were written on andwhat technique was used for the execution, following whichthey were appropriately preserved so that they can last thelongest possible minimizing their deterioration.
由非典型材料和使用复杂技术制成的人工制品被保存在博物馆中，这对博物馆馆长来说是一个特殊的挑战。论文中描述的两封信就是这样的情况，署名为女性的人写在桦树皮上:Janka和Jaśkadispatched分别于1946年和1947年从乌拉尔的苏联波洛温卡古拉格写给她的母亲。目前，这些文物被收藏在LicheńStary Rev. Józef Jarzębowski博物馆，而它们的历史直到2010年代才被解释。2022年，博物馆对这些信件进行了保存，以便找出它们写在什么材料上，以及执行时使用了什么技术，然后对它们进行了适当的保存，以便尽可能长时间地保存它们，尽量减少它们的变质。

The Nature Education Centre of the JagiellonianUniversity in Krakow has in its collection a spectacular fossil ofa Jurassic crinoid, in literature known as Seirocrinus subangularis(Miller). Only several museums in Central Europe can boast sucha perfectly preserved and complete specimen of Seirocrinus. Asseen against Polish museum collections the slab in questionis an outstanding object. That very form was a cosmopolitanand pseudoplanktonic crinoid species spread throughoutAsia, Europe, and Northern America, yet it has never beendocumented in Poland. The particular specimen reached Polandin the mid-19th century from Germany to enrich the collectionof the Mineralogical Cabinet. The paper presents the turbulenthistory of the slab with some dozen specimens of echinodermson it, the story which will shortly have a happy end, since itwill be permanently placed as a geological exhibit at the NatureEducation Centre of the Jagiellonian University.

Museums have always been regarded as centresof knowledge and culture, places where we can extend ourunderstanding of the surrounding world. Today, next to theirbasic tasks, museums also perform various social functions,playing an important role in establishing bonds with peopleand taking into account their experiences. New roles of theearly-21st-century museums go far beyond the up-to-now areasof the functioning of cultural institutions in society, witha transformation occurring in their activities targeted at theapplication of the collection’s emotional potential, narrative,space, and museum displays to have a therapeutic impact onthe public suffering from civilizational ailments, all this conductedin cooperation with psychologists, pedagogues, anddoctors. The activity in this respect has been yielding positiveeffects, and more often and in an increasing number proofsdemonstrating museums’ therapeutic value as well as theirsubstantial impact on people’s health and well-being havebeen observed. This new contemporary form of museums’activity is called museotherapy. The definition of the conceptprepared by Dorota Folga-Januszewska and Robert Kotowskihas been published in the Dictionary of Museology publishedin two languages: by Routledge in English and Armand Colinin French. The paper aims at popularizing the knowledge ofand disseminating so-far findings in museotherapy. Results ofresearch in this respect conducted in various countries andmuseotherapy-related implemented projects have been presentedin the article. All these may encourage museum curatorsto conduct classes in the discussed area.

The paper presents the research project implementedby the staff of the University of Silesia in Katowiceduring the Museum Power Exhibition at the National Museumin Krakow. The semiotic interpretation of the data amassedin FGIs and IGIs, these enriched with class observations, DeskResearch, as well as the analysis of purpose-created documents,allowed to fulfil the goal of the investigation. The interdepartmentalcooperation launched when educators becameExhibition’s curators was of the main interest to the researchers.These actions were considered as examples of the implementationof the ‘educational turn’ in Polish museology wheretendencies to clearly separate and differently evaluate curatorialand educational practices are distinctly visible. The analysisof the manners of extending fields of museum education byeducators-curators enabled the identification of a set of recommendationsfor initiating display projects implemented andco-created by the education department staff. In the presentationof the research results the focus has been put on threeareas in which the shift was observed: types of knowledgeorganizing thinking about the display; perception and applicationof educators’ competences; and shaping informal relationsand producing institutional trust. The paper speaks infavour of the necessity to take into account the experience andcompetences of the education department employees whencreating valuable exhibitions and consolidating good relationswith committed public.

However,debates on it are much older, and while reaching merely theprevious 25th ICOM General Conference held in Kyoto in 2019 letus recall that it was there that an aborted attempt at introducingthe new museum definition, much differing from the currentone, took place. It is the normative and legal consequencesof the adoption of the new ICOM museum definition that arethe subject of the paper. It is possible for the normative ICOMoutput to be implemented in the domestic legal regulations.Interpretations and observations related to the questionare contained in the paper, however they finally lead to theconclusion that the literal wording of the museum definition assuch is not of major importance. As for the tendency, this showsthe extension of the name’s range although not conductedentirely spontaneously and freely.

The paper presents the results of provenancestudies related to the donation of Władysław Jagniątkowski(1856–1930) and his wife to the National Museum inWarsaw. Presented to the Museum in 1930, the collectionof heritage pieces contains objects from China and Vietnamwhere the donor was based as a soldier of France’s colonialtroops fighting to suppress the Boxer Rebellion. Basedon untypical sources: texts written by Jagniątkowski, theAuthors analyse the circumstances under which the collectionwas amassed. The many-sided contextualization ofthe donation grounded in the investigated texts yields thehypotheses on the impact of the donor’s personal experiencesand colonial conditioning on the provenance of thehistoric pieces. The research into the provenance of theJagniątkowskis’ donation serves as a good example of potentialchallenges faced by individuals aiming at conductinginvestigation to present a full provenance of museumobjects. It also forms part of the increasingly more popularresearch into and verification of Western collections ofChinese art amassed during the Boxer Rebellion.
