Jagiellonian University Museum – part 2

The activities of museums and academic collections, both in Poland and around the world, focus on the preservation of tangible objects and intangible traces of memory and scientific achievements. They function as research laboratories, supporting the didactic and scientific process, and becoming spaces for interdisciplinary scientific discussions and interpretations of the past. As part of the national and cultural heritage, academic heritage creates a network of links between universities, local communities and cultures at the continental and global levels. The definition of this heritage is evolving through daily practice, exchange of experiences and cooperation within international networks of museums and academic collections.
