Exhibits from the Potocki family deposit in Krzeszowice

  • A set of marble statues purchased by Artur and Zofia Potocki in 1830 in Rome first went to Pałac pod Baranami [Palace under the Rams] in Krakow, then to their family residence in Krzeszowice, and next – in difficult wartime conditions – it was transferred to the Princes Czartoryski Museum and deposited there thanks to the efforts of curator Pelagia Potocka. The collection presents a group of Roman sculptures as well as decorative and sepulchral bas-reliefs, unique in Polish collections. It is complemented with ceramics and bronze items.
