Abstract
The text is a study about a place: a part of local landscape which role is to preserve region’s cultural heritage and to create the awareness of it. The Village Museum in Maruszow was the example in the author‘s project. It is Open-Air Museum and Gallery of sculpture of Edward Ziarko, situated in a small village in the municipality of Ozarow in Poland. This initiative is interesting not only because of a status of a private small local open-air museum, donated by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, but also in terms of promoting and popularizing folk culture of the region. This is accomplished by the person of an owner, folk artist and the creator of eclectic exhibition, consisting of many exhibits which are not strictly “folk” or local and relate to different periods of history. The author plans to check how people perceive this place and to what extent they identify with it and, lastly, if they perceive it as the perfect image of the local culture and history.
