Biblia, toga, fisharmonia... Pamięć o ewangelikach na wystawach muzealnych Mazur
The Bible, the gown, the harmonium... Memory of the evangelicals at the museum exhibitions in the Masuria

Summary/Abstract: The article deals withe the contemporary museum landscape on the territory of historical Masuria. Assuming - first of all - that the historical pillars of Masurian identity before the Second World War comprised the Polish language and evangelical denomination, and - secondly - that museums are institutions whose purpose is to archive, select and present artifacts as well as construct narration about the cultural memory of a group, the author poses a question of the current presence of evangelical themes at the exhibitions of selected Masurian museums. An exhibition is understood here as a message addressed to receivers, and therefore the author uses the method of semiotic analysis of the visual stratum of selected exhibitions (Mikołajki, Olsztynek).
