Sztetl Mszana Dolna at the 18th International Forum of House Museums

The Vice President of our Foundation, Marek Rekucki, participated in the XVIII International Forum of Household Museums on 5-7.06.2025. The conference took place in and around Nowy Sącz, Podegrodzie, and was attended by representatives from all over Poland, as well as the Czech Republic, Georgia and Ukraine.

The organisers of the event were:

Sącz Land Museum

Municipal Library in Podegrodzie

Polish-Czech Scientific Society

International Network of Household Museums

Among the more than a dozen papers and presentations, there was a theme of concern for the maintenance and development of these small centres of culture and memory, so-called ‘small museums’, usually established on a grassroots initiative. Participants exchanged valuable experiences, initiatives and ideas on how to act more effectively in their local communities, but also on a national and international forum.

The forum was organised in the context of the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the Polish Crown as part of the Malopolska Voivodeship's strategic programme ‘Malopolska 2030’.
