exhibitions presented at selected cultural institutions in Gdańsk, an attempt is under-
taken to highlight the problems and phenomena which remain in close connection with
the processes of constructing the post-communist cultural identity of the city Among
the crucial factors which are subject of the analysis first and foremost mention has to be
madę of the specificity of the local memory and identity which can be referred to as
insertive, yet with the dominant tendency towards historicism. Those features, in turn,
lead to describing some of the cultural institutions as places of memory, both with refer-
ence to their architecture, as well as to the narratives they present. An important place
in the course of those deliberations is assigned to Gdańsks cultural policy and its role
in programming the local memory and identity, presented on the basis of the analysis
of the development strategies published by the city over the analysed period of time.
The State of events in Gdańsk is finally juxtaposed with popular trends in the develop-
ment of new museology in Europę, where tendencies towards increasing introspection,
revision, and anthropological approach can be observed.
