Przemiany koncepcji wystawienniczych (na przykładzie Oddziału Etnografii Muzeum Narodowego w Gdańsku)
Museum exhibitions transformations (on the example of the National Museum Ethnography Department in Gdańsk)

Summary/Abstract: A museum exhibition is a cultural creation which consists of various elements — exhibits, texts and artistic arrangement. It is a complete whole, not a collection of random items mindlessly displayed. Over the years, the selection of topics and ideas for shaping the exhibition space has changed. Particular examples of places where this phenomenon should occur are ethnographic museums, but often such institutions have been stuck in a time warp and have ceased to keep up with a museum audience with different cultural background and perceptual abilities. The main part of the text is the analysis of the permanent exhibition and temporary exhibitions presented at the Ethnography Department of the National Museum in Gdańsk in 2016-2018. It is complemented by reflections on the future of ethnographic museology.
