Abstract

At the end of the 19th century, in a small mountain village of Zakopane in the Podhale region, Polish intellectuals established the Tatra Museum – an institution which soon exceeded its provincial character and played an important role in the process of creating the popular image of the Podhale region with a special
regard to its significance to Polish national heritage. In the present article, the author attempts to describe and analyse the museum practices adopted by the Tatra Museum through the years to follow the process of constructing the different visions of the Podhale region and the respective concepts of cultural heritage.

Keywords:
