Sztuka w muzeum wyobraźni

The article attempts to reconstruct the aesthetical category of imaginarium by Andre Malraux. Malraux approached it on various levels: imaginative space of culture participant, artistic creation, museum a set of meanings, cultural codes and symbols. The category is a key to perception of the world where meanings and senses are both interpreted and constituted. The metaphor of imaginarium allows the French thinker to trace the way culture develops its meanings and senses as well as gives opportunity for an analysis of interactions between cutures. It is by imaginarium, its symbolic and meanings cutures develop as well as contact each other, leading to birth of new meanings and symbols.
