Today is the
beginning of very special weekend :) Maybe it’s worth to use it for family
visit in the museum? Of course if the cultural offer of our city allows it. I
didn’t know but museum has its own definition in Polish law. I wouldn’t
translate it but shortly we can say that museum role is to collect, protect and
arrange collections. Then making the opportunity to watch them and creating
sensitivity for culture.
I think that
we have quite rich offer of museums in Poland. Generally, we can divide them
into:
- national
museums, for example in Warsaw, Cracov, Poznan or Gdansk,
-
archeological,
-
etnographical,
- natural,
- historic,
- technical,
- art,
- sacral,
-
biographical,
- martial,
- castles,
palaces, domes,
- and many
more.
It’s worth
to recall museums which are not very common – the list of them I found here: http://www.fly4free.pl/najdziwniejsze-muzea-na-swiecie-byliscie-w-nich/?pid=257#galeria
1. Museum of
Asphalt in Sacramento,
2. Museum of
Cheap Wines in Szklarska Poręba,
3. Museum of
Purgatory Souls in Rome,
4. Museum of
Funeral Cars in Barcelona,
5. Museum of
Dog Collars in Maidstone,
6. Museum of
Bacon in Lviv,
7. Museum of
Salt-shakers and Pepper-shaker in Gatlinburg,
8. Museum of
Socks in Beijing,
9. Museum of
Chinese Soups in Osaka,
10. Museum
of Toilets in New Delhi.
At least
once a year each museum has Open Days when we can visit them without paying for
the entrance. On the 18th May there is International Day of Museums
– it was first made in Moscow 28th May 1977. From 2003 we have one
more event – Night of Museums. Than we ca also visit museums without payment –
usually it’s on Friday night, from 6pm till 3am.
Maybe I’m not
a big fan of watching paintings but I always choose a new place to watch
something different – souvenirs, books, mock-ups and something like that. I’ve
visitied almost all museums in Cracov – excluding Museum of Japanese Art and
Technique. Let’s do it my New Year’s resolution :)
