Abstract

The “museum boom” is a global phenomenon with various local manifestations and wide-ranging antecedents. The recent museum boom in Poland, in which a number of national museum complexes have either opened or undergone significant remodeling, is related to changing evidential discourses about collective identity. These discourses are part of the national narratives surrounding the Polish state. This essay asks what can be learned from the Polish museum boom. Notably, museums and museum-like institutions within Poland serve as a space for education and dialogue that both complements and contrasts with history education in schools and written history books. Through comparative case studies, this essay addresses how the museum boom is rooted in the particularities of Poland’s history. Museums elsewhere are experiencing similar shifts, and we ask here what these changes can tell us about the transformations of history museums in Poland.

当代波兰和其他地方“博物馆热潮”的意义
“博物馆热潮”是一种全球现象,有各种地方表现和广泛的先例。波兰最近出现了博物馆热潮,许多国家博物馆综合体要么开放,要么进行了重大改造,这与关于集体身份的证据话语的变化有关。这些话语是波兰国家叙事的一部分。这篇文章探讨了我们可以从波兰的博物馆热潮中学到什么。值得注意的是,波兰境内的博物馆和类似博物馆的机构是教育和对话的空间,与学校的历史教育和书面历史书籍形成了补充和对比。通过比较案例研究,本文阐述了博物馆的繁荣是如何植根于波兰历史的特殊性。其他地方的博物馆也在经历类似的转变,我们在这里问,这些变化能告诉我们波兰历史博物馆的转变。

期刊介绍: Museum Anthropology seeks to be a leading voice for scholarly research on the collection, interpretation, and representation of the material world. Through critical articles, provocative commentaries, and thoughtful reviews, this peer-reviewed journal aspires to cultivate vibrant dialogues that reflect the global and transdisciplinary work of museums. Situated at the intersection of practice and theory, Museum Anthropology advances our knowledge of the ways in which material objects are intertwined with living histories of cultural display, economics, socio-politics, law, memory, ethics, colonialism, conservation, and public education.
