KATARZYNA JAGODZIŃSKA, THE TIME OF MUSEUMS IN CENTRAL EUROPE. MUSEUMS AND CONTEMPORARY ART CENTRES (1989 –2014), CRACOW 2014

Journal Title: Muzealnictwo - Year 2015, Vol 56, Issue

Abstract

The value of Katarzyna Jagodzińska’s book is enhanced by the fact that there are still not enough such studies. She guides her readers through the theoretical discourse on museums in an accessible and knowledgeable way. She describes the presentation of contemporary/modern art in the former East-Bloc countries while introducing and describing their most important institutions. The value of this publication is unquestionable. It may be recommended without hesitation to people with various interests: museum professionals and museologists, art historians (in particular those dealing with contemporary art), architects, anyone interested in European art issues, the history and culture of the Visegrád Group as a whole or of each particular country forming it. It is also an excellent read for tourists planning their visits to Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia or those travelling in Poland; apart from the commonly-known monuments and museums already described in every guidebook, here one may find those places which are not so well-known but equally interesting.
