Preliminary results of the origins of museums in Janów Lubelski
Tadeusz Seweryn - the long term director of Cracow Ethnographic Museum has gained his rank in Janów Lubelski, the place, where two months after regaining the independence by Poland, the new museum came into being. The museum warehouse and exhibition room was created in ordinary living room. The exhibits were stuffed in every corner of the room. As long as the founder was staying there, the exhibits were constantly complemented, yet, when he left it, it changed into one without heating and all the things gathered there and the museum itself – previously the pride of the town – became the burden of local government. The museum space became unchanged for the next years, yet , the fact of not connecting it to life space (supervision, responsibility and interest) led to silent consent that common wealth is the individual wealth - the individualists who have access to it.
