Product description

Author: Mirosław Borusiewicz 

Volume 21 of the ‘Museology’ publishing series, produced by the publishing house of the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów in cooperation with the National Institute of Museology and Collection Conservation. A small but rich in content monograph of a very famous and distinguished museologist, Mirosław Borusiewicz, PhD, will certainly be of interest to many people from the broadly understood world of culture. This topic is quite unusual in Polish literature. The application of semiotics to the sphere of museology, although found in foreign literature, has so far been reluctantly accepted in Polish museology. The pioneer in this field is the author of the discussed publication. – Prof. Stanisław Waltoś, PhD 
The publication contains traces of all the author’s professional experiences: the sometimes hermetic reflection of a scientist, the journalistic flair of a committed educator, the maturity of a theoretician, already aware of the effects of confronting theoretical assumptions with the praxis that direct experience of ‘cultural management’ gives every academic researcher. To put it most succinctly, the publication is an original, and at times very personal and not devoid of signs of intentional subjectivism, reflection on the museum as a multidimensional ‘message’ addressed to the public in its entire statistically and typologically complex spectrum. This message (...) consists of a museum exhibition, composed primarily of original artefacts, the form of its arrangement, the texts used (...), but also the architecture of the museum building and the ‘friendliness’ (or its deficit) of museum spaces, in all their functional and diversified from exhibition displays. Above the multidimensionality of this message rests, like the sword of Damocles, the question posed by the author (...) about the audience’s perceptive abilities, about what each of us really stays with after visiting a museum, and for how long. – Prof. Piotr Majewski, PhD
