Summary/Abstract: The publication titled Spacerem przez czas. Ludzie i wydarzenia w Muzeum „Górnośląski Park Etnograficzny w Chorzowie” (A Walk through Time: People and Events at the Museum „Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park in Chorzów”) by Krzysztof Bulla is a breath of youth and freshness in the approach to Polish museum commemorative literature, especially in the context of open-air museums. Prepared by the author and the editorial team, the book treats the reader to delicious dishes from the museum’s molecular gastronomy from the very beginning. Over 40 short, yet succinct, and light stories about the Chorzów-based museum, set chronologically along the history of this institution, offer a wide range of emotions and experiences typical of such institutions: from the joy, sense of duty, and immense commitment associated with the concept of creating an open-air museum, through the sadness associated with the destruction of museum objects in a fire, and disappointment with the increasingly frequent attempt to limit museum activities solely to attendance and profit charts, ending with hope stemming from the fact that substantive activities are ultimately paramount.
