Abstract
On March 12, 2020, the crisis staff with the Minister of Culture and National Heritage introduced a lockdown in Poland. For most cultural institutions, it was the beginning of activity in completely different conditions and a necessity to redefine the activities. For nearly three months, cultural institutions deprived of the possibility of normal stationary work. They had to face the challenge of operating on-line. It quickly turned out that retransmissions of events, recalling archival recordings and virtual walks are not solutions that can keep the audience’s attention for a long time. The aim of the text is to examine the conditions and methods in which culture, and education, can and should be realized today. The article presents an example of activities carried out in Lublin by the “Grodzka Gate - NN Theater” Center, which since the late 1990s uses the Internet and new technologies in history and local cultural heritage. The authors of the article look for answers to the questions how cultural institutions are prepared to operate with the use of new technologies and how they implement the goals of humanities education.
