Study visit of the Moldovan Memory Museum team
From 20 to 24 April, a study visit of members of the team working on the future Memory Museum in Chisinau is taking place in Warsaw.
A group of specialists from Moldova has come to Poland to work on the creation of a future Memory Museum dedicated, among other things, to the experience of Russian repression. The aim of the visit is to gain insight into the practical aspects of creating and managing modern museums, as well as to exchange experiences with Polish experts.
The programme includes visits to key museum institutions in Poland, such as the Museum of Polish History, the Katyn Museum, and the Museum of Cursed Soldiers and Political Prisoners of the PRL.
A central part of the programme takes place at the Museum of Polish History, where participants attend presentations and workshops on topics including the development of permanent exhibitions, educational activities, collection building, and museum project management. Meetings with experts provide behind-the-scenes insight into the process of establishing a major cultural institution.
In the following days, participants also visit the Katyn Museum and the Museum of Cursed Soldiers and Political Prisoners of the PRL, where they explore different approaches to presenting difficult history and engaging audiences.
The programme also includes a meeting at the Mieroszewski Centre, which has long supported the development of international cooperation and initiatives related to historical memory.
The knowledge and experience gained during the visit will support participants in creating a modern Memory Museum in Chisinau—an institution intended to become an important space for reflection on history and its contemporary consequences.
