Title: Leadership Mindset and Skills for Wellbeing in Museums Abstract: Museums must adapt to the increasing demand for wellbeing experiences that promote personal growth, requiring specific leadership skills and mindsets. This study explores: (1) museums’ role in promoting wellbeing, (2) leadership skills needed for wellbeing initiatives, and (3) the influence of a growth mindset. We conducted interviews and a leadership mindset survey with eight Croatian museum leaders. Results show leaders view museums as “third places” – a physical location other than work or home where conversation and social gathering are the primary activities – and believe they an expanding role in societal wellbeing. Nine key leadership skills were identified which leaders believe can be developed through training. Recommendations for fostering a growth mindset and leadership skills are provided.

Given the significant role Christmas Markets play in German society, we ask the question whether and to what extent objects from these markets have been and/or are being collected by German cultural institutions. In doing so, the authors surveyed museums in all German communities that held Christmas markets before the intensified proliferation period of the late 1970s. Only 15.7% of responding museums specifically collected material culture related to Christmas markets. In the majority of cases, such collections occurred opportunistically and non- systematically, resulting in collection gaps. The majority of collected material culture was flatware (photographs etc). Three dimensional objects (cups, models etc.) were generally underrepresented, with cups, models and other market-specific unique items being collected. The proportion between documented and collected items was very low for the majority of German museums. Authors: Dirk H. R.

It presents the development of a nationwide computer database of information on the artistic culture at the Centre for Information and Documentation of Contemporary Art (CIDCA), established in 1985 within the structure of the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (CCA), Warsaw. The study focuses on the factors responsible for the emergence and the ultimate failure of this pioneering initiative between 1985 and 1995. Subsequent attempts to develop digital databases at the CCA, from the mid-1990s to the present, are also addressed. The analysis combines the perspectives of infrastructure studies and potential history. Based on archival research and interviews with the institution’s staff, the purpose and the structure of the database are traced and the economic, technological, institutional, organisational, legal and political infrastructures of the late socialist and transitional period in Poland that were negotiated in the process of its development are reconstructed. The effort to build the database infrastructure is shown to be both an example of the local infrastructure fetishism and a gesture that maintains the existence of a productive potential and transfers it over time.

It examines how municipal and private heavy-industrial efforts shaped the city’s development, highlighting the tension between traditional compact urban quarters and the emerging garden city concept. The paper conducts research on urbanism, architecture and history through historical analysis, cartographic review and spatial interpretation. It explores Zabrze’s spatial structure, as a miners’ village and then a town; the garden city concept’s influence on worker estates in England and Germany; and the functional and spatial conflicts during  urban formation. The study reveals that industrial enterprises, not municipal authorities, were the primary drivers of modern urban planning solutions in Zabrze, challenging conventional views of city formation in Silesia.
