TY - JOUR TI - A Hero and His Museum… Jan Matejko AU - Kłak-Ambrożkiewicz, Marta TI - A Hero and His Museum… Jan Matejko AB - The article considers the following issues: the civic attitudes of nineteenth-century society in face of the need to commemorate an outstanding artist; the participation of artists in creating such attitudes; and ways of promoting the nation’s history and culture. The issues are presented in the context of the development of museology in Poland. The text is a case study of the biographical museum in Jan Matejko’s house, opened on 6 March 1898 and since then, through a permanent exhibition and numerous temporary exhibitions, popularising various aspects of artist’s life and work, as well as presenting his rich collections of crafts, textiles and military memorabilia.
