Muzeum w suszarni bielizny. O Izbie Pamięci Osiedla im. Józefa Montwiłła-Mireckiego w Łodzi
Musem in a Linen Drying Room. About the Józef Montwiłł-Mirecki Memorial Chamber in Łódź

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the mini museum housed in the historic “green barrack,” a con-verted linen drying room, situated in the modernist Józef Montwiłł- Mirecki dictrict in Łódź built in the interwar period. The Memorial Chamber — this is the name of the institution — does not exist on the map of municipal cultural institutions. It operates on the outskirts of urban cultural life, but is a symbolic center of the district, materializes the “mediated memory” (van Dijk) and the autobiographical and cultural identity of the local community. The conversation with Tadeusz Krzemiński, one of the last living creators of the Chamber, is about the beginning of the Memorial Chamber, about the people integrating in it, about the museum exhibits and about the mundane problems of existence in this place.
