Museums and Centers of Contemporary Art in Central Europe is a
comprehensive study of the ecosystem of art museums and centers in
the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Focusing on
institutions founded after 1989, the book analyses a thirty-year
boom in art exhibition space in these regions, as well as a range
of socio-political influences and curatorial debates that had a
significant impact upon their development. Tracing the inspiration
for the increase in art institutions and the models upon which
these new spaces were based, Jagodzinska offers a unique insight
into the history of museums in Central Europe. Providing analysis
of a range of issues, including private and public patronage,
architecture, and changing visions of national museums of art, the
book situates these newly-founded institutions within their
historical, political and museological contexts. Considering
whether - and in what ways - they can be said to have a shared
regional identity that is distinct from institutions elsewhere,
this valuable contribution paints a picture of the region in its
entirety from the perspective of new institutions of art. Offering
the first comprehensive study on the topic, Museums and Centers of
Contemporary Art in Central Europe should be of great interest to
academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the
study of museums, art, history and architecture.
