Rocznik Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie. Nowa Seria / Journal of the National Museum in Warsaw. New Series was established by Agnieszka Morawińska in 2012 as a continuation of the museum’s historical publications: Rocznik Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie / Annuaire du Musée National de Varsovie (published in 1938–1992) and Bulletin du Musée National de Varsovie (last issued in 2009).
The journal’s distinctive character stems from its dedication to the objects kept at the National Museum in Warsaw as well as various aspects of its collections, institutional history and activities. It publishes scholarly articles on art history, museology and heritage conservation, with the aim of disseminating knowledge about the museum’s holdings and encouraging further research by readers and scholars from Poland and around the world. As a bilingual journal, with each article published in both Polish and English, it is able to play a role in international academic exchange.
Between 2012 and 2023 the journal was published in print format, with its graphic and typographic design created by Janusz Górski. Since 2024 it has been available exclusively in digital format, ensuring greater accessibility and a broader impact within the academic community.
The journal is published by the National Museum in Warsaw and funded by the institution.
