| Summary: | In the 21<sup>st</sup> century, participation is one of the
key words related to the operations of museums and debate
around them. The public are encouraged to co-create
museum projects: exhibitions, programmes that accompany
exhibitions, studies; they play the role of consultants and
advisors (youth councils, clubs, consultancy teams). Museums
are more and more widely ‘opening’ to embrace the public.
Never before has the position of visitors been as significant.
An overview of participatory programmes in Polish museums
is provided. They are classified and characterized by
the Author who places them within the philosophy of museum
operations, particularly with respect to the altering
role of museums, currently debated over within ICOM, with
the context of the new museum definition in mind; furthermore,
she presents the initial conclusions drawn from the
implementation of such projects for museums.
In the paper the material from interviews conducted
as part of the Atlas of Museum Participation Project
implemented with a grant from the Ministry of Culture and
National Heritage has been used.
