The Order of Things

Step into the captivating world of Polish museology with 'The Order of Things.' For the very first time, visitors are granted access to the catalogued treasure trove housed within a museum's collection warehouse—typically hidden from view. This groundbreaking exhibition reveals the multitude of treasures organized meticulously in the museum's backroom.

Discover an extensive array of tools associated with agricultural life, fishing, beekeeping, and artisan crafts, from the mid-19th century to handcrafted creations of the 1970s. This exhibition blends the old with the new, showcasing modern technology through digital displays featuring archival videos that document the functionality of these storied objects. 📹

Interact with multimedia kiosks to view photographs and articles connected to these artifacts, while the centerpiece—a workbench—offers electronic access to the collection’s inventory, allowing you to explore detailed catalog entries. Uncover the secrets of ethnographic research with access to questionnaires, field notes, and photographs from the field, bringing the research process to life. 📝

The classification of these fascinating items is the work of Piotr Szacki, a distinguished museologist who contributed to the State Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw from 1962 to 2004. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind experience! 🎉
