Muzeum w domu — działania w trakcie pandemii
Museum at home – activities taken during the pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic significantly affected all aspects of human life, including the daily activities of cultural institutions. During the period of closure to the public, museums undertook various initiatives aimed at keeping the attention of the cur-rent audience, as well as attracting new visitors - only this time in a virtual form. These activities were largely based on previously digitized collections, which almost overnight (if they had not been made available before) appeared in the digital space. Various forms of virtual tours (whether alone or with guides) were proposed, as well as other activities around digital artifacts, such as interviews with curators, analyzes of works, and workshops for children. The initiatives of the audience themselves were also important - such as the home art challenge, consisting in recreating a selected work of art with the help of objects at hand. This type of involvement gave a good chance of transferring it in the post-pandemic world to the ground of relations in the physical space of the museum - however, it does not mean an automatic unification of visitors around an institution that will take care of itself. Regardless of external circumstances, extensive measures should be taken to combine of-fline and online activities in modern museums.
