Abstract

The Kuncewicz House — a part of the Vistula Museum in Kazimierz Dolny is a literary museum established in the former villa of Maria and Jerzy Kuncewicz. It is a very special place with unusual exhibits. The collection consists of objects collected by the Kuncewicz family. These are souvenirs, gifts, personal belongings, even Maria Kuncewiczowa’s wardrobe. Each exhibit is a unique, separate narrative trail for the museum staff. These exhibits are related to the Kuncewicz’s history, but also to the creators or donors of these objects (e.g. paintings furniture etc). However, the stories of some objects are often unknown. The museum staff reconstructs the narrative of the exhibits, and uses them not only to prepare popular science and educational texts enriching the knowledge of the Kuncewicz family and their friends, but also to discover facts about Kazimierz Dolny and the art colony existing in this town in the 20s. and 30s.
