Summary/Abstract: Text is an attempt to compare two exhibitions from National Museum in Cracow: „Polish self-portrait” (1979/1980) and “#heritage” (2017/2018). Analyzed was their potential/method in the field of creation/planning of heritage and identity. Referring to, among others, Gregory Ashworth, Edwin W. Ardener, Eric Hobsbawm, Geneviève Zubrzycki and Jacques Lacan, I analyse the ways of establishing heritage, in terms of arbitrary and contractual.
