Museum Exhibition

The first significant exhibition devoted to Roma/ Gypsy history and culture was organised in the Regional Museum in Tarnów in 1979. After its success, collections connected with the history of this ethnic group were initiated. The Ethnographic Museum in Tarnów (the branch of the Regional Museum) opened a permanent exhibition entitled “Gypsies. History and culture” as the first permanent museum exhibition devoted to Roma matters in 1990. The Gypsy collections of the museum amount to almost 1000 exhibits; moreover, it gathers professional photographic, cinematographic and phonographic documentation and archives, and it runs a specialised library. Based on this permanent Roma exhibition and collections, the museum in Tarnów organises numerous cultural and educational projects, as well as those that promote Roma culture and history. The International Roma Caravan Memorial is a regular event which has been organised since 1996. It is a project which consists in a kind of a reconstruction of a Gypsy wandering caravan, during which the participants visit places connected with Roma martyrdom during the Second World War in Małopolska. In addition, the museum publishes a scientific annual entitled “Studia Romologica”.

Museum Exhibition

<p>Communication of sciences / arts lies at the core of a museum public activity. It is a special type of communication, meant to make the collections and the domain of the expertise of the museum accessible to a wide public in order to fulfill the special cultural and social role that museums have in the contemporary society. This cannot be achieved without the cooperation of visitors, as well as the museum stakeholders. For fruitful relationships, museums have to design their activity and public offer taking into account the characteristics as well as the interests of various segments of its audience. The present paper discusses the prerequisites for a successful museum exhibition. Special attention is given to designing an effective exhibition on the history of communism. By investigating the profile of the potential visitors for such an exhibition, the paper draws a framework to be considered when designing it. The discussion is timely, since in the last few years there are discussions and initiatives related with the establishment of a museum of communism.</p>
