It is the biggest museum of IT technologies
in Poland: Museum of the History of Computers and IT in
Katowice (MHKI) that the paper is dedicated to. The trend
to create this kind of museums has been observed in technologically-
advanced countries for over 20 years. It is connected
with the shift in perceiving technological accessories
of a daily life, which have been gradually incorporated into
the circle of cultural heritage, and subsequently covered
with institutional protection. Founders of such museums
generally rank among private entities and private individuals
motivated by their passion to preserve and popularize technological
heritage among the present and future generations.
What IT museums worldwide have in common is the rarely
encountered in classical museology model of allowing visitors
a direct interaction with the exhibits. At the same time, these
museums are market operators, which, apart from culture-
-forming activity, forces them to achieve their autonomy and
financial stability first of all owing to the visitor turnout and
partnership contracts with outside entities: companies and
the media. All these issues were the topic of an extensive interview
with MHKI’s Director which provides the material for
the paper. The acquired information may serve as a source of
knowledge and inspiration for potential founders of other IT
heritage museums to be established in Poland.
