The Team

In case of the Malbork Castle Museum, specialist personnel study movable artefacts as well as castles in Malbork, Sztum and Kwidzyn. Interdisciplinary research covers fields of history, art history, architecture, archaeology and historical monument conservation, its scope frequently extending well beyond aforesaid castles and artefacts preserved within. Such studies ought to be continued and developed, their outcomes confronted with the academic community. The Centre for Post-Teutonic Heritage Research would offer such opportunity in institutionalised form.

 THE TEAM

Dr. Gregory Leighton

'As the first affiliate of the Research Centre for Post-Teutonic Order Heritage at Malbork Castle Museum, Dr. Leighton’s primary projects include a study of the perception of ‘heritage’ from the Middle Ages to the Modern period. This work will focus on material and immaterial manifestations of ‘cultural heritage’ – i.e., the aspects of culture selected by the several groups who inhabited the southern Baltic region from the Middle Ages to the present. He is also involved in the development of the project, Days After World War 2 around the Baltic Sea (D.A.B.S.) and several organizational and research activities related to the function of the Centre.'
