Avant-garde art display recreations historised: Muzeum Sztuki in Lódz as a referential case?

Lorente Lorente, Jesús Pedro (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: Museums can no longer pretend to be mere containers of art or other cultural treasures; their fascinating
legacy for posterity is definitely not just the respective collection, but also its idiosyncratic articulation
and ulterior resignification. This essay surveys sifting trends in the re-staging of modern museographies;
but instead of using New York’s MoMA as the obvious paradigm, pride of place is given here to the
Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź (Poland). Its original Neoplastic Hall survived only from June 1948 until October
1950; but it was reconstructed ten years later, prefiguring other museographical remakes of avant-garde
art displays. Thereafter, it also became, in many ways, a typical example characterising postmodern
museological trends. All in all, it could perhaps be discussed nowadays in the light of critical museology
as a referential case in the history of heritagised museographies.
