UPHEAVALS. SUGGESTION FOR A NEW HISTORICAL MUSEUM
Journal Title: Muzealnictwo - Year 2016, Vol 57, Issue
Abstract
The Dialogue Centre Upheavals (later CDP or Upheavals) in Szczecin, which opened in January 2016, may be an example of the dilemmas faced today by the creators of historical narrative museums. Devoted to the fate of Szczecin in the period 1939–1989, it is intended to construct the inhabitants’ identity and at the same time tell the history of this city in a broader Polish perspective. It is also supposed to commemorate the victims of the December’70 protests. Building the CDP re-defined the character of this part of the city and introduced a new urban order. The design of the building managed to blend the idea of a public square and city buildings. However, the creators of the permanent exhibition at Upheavals departed from the scenographic solutions which dominate Polish art museums. Instead, they chose modern art to be an integral part of it, a solution which is a novelty in historical museology. Works by among others Hubert Czerepok, Robert Kiśmirowski and Kobasa Laksy complement the exhibition, and also illustrate or comment upon the past.
