Abstract

The aim of this article is to outline issue memory of socialism by a prism of the protection
of the monuments from the age of People’s Republic Of Poland in the Tychy city. It starts
with the analysis of the „museological desire”, a term coined by the Masahiro Ogino. Then
it presents phases of the reshaping public space in post-socialist countries after 1989.
Next parts of the article are focused on Tychy, which were typical „socialist city”, and its
changing image after transition to capitalism. Last chapter is devoted to the protection
of the PRL’s heritage – using examples of two monuments in Tychy.
