„Kogo stać?” — wystawa niestała w Muzeum Etnograficznym w Krakowie
“Who Can Afford?” — non-permanent exhibition at the Ethnographic Museum of Kraków

Summary/Abstract: KrakówThe article takes the readers behind the scenes of the changes made to the permanent exhibition of the Ethnographic Museum in Krakow at the end of 2020. A separate space en-titled “Who Can Afford?” has been created in two exhibition rooms in the Museum’s main building. Instead of generalising about “folk culture” and “the people”, the curators relate a story about different people comprised of individual cases, actual human fates, and very disparate experiences — silent, forgotten. This way, the ethnographic collection becomes the key to talking about the idea of legacy — the often troublesome inheritance from our ancestors and the emotions associated with stepping into the ambiguous role of heirs.
