Summary/Abstract: The Ethnographic Park of Kujawy and Dobrzyń Land in Kłóbka confirms the importance of regional museums in building social bonds in small localities. Talking about the contribution of museology to social and economic development of the country, we usually think about big urban centres and huge projects. However, thanks to cultural investments, in the “provinces” there have been deep changes in the mindset of people, which result in building new deep identity which empowered those small local communities.
