Tulik, Sylwia2024-02-182024-02-182019-12Warstwy Nr 3 (2019), s. 101-1042544-4824https://repozytorium.ur.edu.pl/handle/item/10152The article is an attempt to answer questions connected with objects, collecting and owning them, and their function. What is an object in a person’s life, how many emotions and meanings does it carry? Is it beautiful or useful and is beauty utility? Why does it define the times it was created in, and why, in the course of time, acquiring meaning, does it become timeless and everlasting? How does a collector make his way in the world of objects, what is his attitude to them? Where is the borderline between the desire to possess and the madness of possessing at all costs? Can the line be drawn? Museum exhibitions and their evaluation; exhibition correctness and viewers’ emotions.polAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/przedmiotrzeczkolekcjonerstwoporcelanabiedermeierwystawaMuzeum Narodowe w WarszawieobjectthingcollectingchinaBiedermeierexhibitionNational Museum in Warsawarticle
