The European Civilization Chair of the College of Europe in Natolin was pleased to organise a workshop on Museums in cooperation with the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN and the Warsaw Uprising Museum.
Natolin students had the opportunity to experience guided visits of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN and the Warsaw Uprising Museum.
After returning to Natolin, students were invited to a dialogue between Professor Dariusz STOLA, a distinguished historian from the Institute of Political Studies at the Polish Academy of Sciences, former director of POLIN Museum, and Professor Georges MINK, Permanent Professor at the College of Europe in Natolin. They discussed the origins of these institutions, the debates and controversies surrounding their creation, and will offer a broader reflection on museum policy in Poland.
Following the presentation, the speaker engaged in an open Q&A session with students.
About the speaker:

He has also extensively studied the communist regime in postwar Poland. From 2014 to 2019, he served as the Director of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
