Narrative Museum – Experiential Museum: Remarks on the Terminology

Summary/Abstract: Classifying the new historical museums that have been established in Poland over the last fifteen years the most widely used term is “narrative museum” [muzeum narracyjne]. Kobielska analyses concrete occurrences of this label in the discourse of museum studies; she categorises the intuitions implied in them and describes the origin of the term. This leads her to argue that its operability is limited and that solidly founded analyses of concrete museum narratives are needed. Examining alternative possibilities to tackle the problem she proposes the concept of (intensive) experience as the dominant factor in the way that historical museums are constructed. Expressing this in a nutshell, these museums could be called “experiential museums”.
