ANTIQUARIAN AND ARCHEOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS AND MUSEUMS IN POLAND SINCE 1918 IN POLAND SINCE 1918– ATHEMATIC OUTLINE

Abstract

The aim of this article is to draw attention to the complexity of the emergence of ancient and archeological collections and museums in Poland since 1918, without exploring the history of each partition. Polish archeology is particularly indebted to them since, as a scientific discipline, it developed during the times of lack of statehood after the partitions of Polish territories. The politics of the invaders, even though different in each partition, did not favor the development of scientific institutions in which archeology could have found support. Till 1918 only individual collections and museums established by scientific societies or other social organizations were developing on Polish grounds. State institutions collecting monuments aroused only after the First World War.
