N2 - Since Poland joined the European Union in 2004 the country has experienced a “museum boom.” Over the following decade new museums have been popping up in nearly every Polish town. The political climate in Poland is such that there are two dominant sides of the political spectrum: one, a celebration of liberal democracy and an openness to Europe, the other, anti-EU and populist nationalist. This paper examines how two new museums in Poland, the Museum of Emigration in Gdynia, and the Warsaw Rising Museum, produce political messages supporting each of these sides.
