  Chełmoński

  The Krakow exhibition culminates the monumental series of three monographic exhibitions dedicated to Józef Chełmoński (1849–1914). Two previous editions took place at the National Museum in Warsaw and the National Museum in Poznań. The exhibition includes a wide selection of oil paintings, watercolours and drawing works from many private collections as well as from museum collections - domestic and foreign ones. The extraordinary talent of the creator of Gossamer (pl. Babie lato) and the sensual beauty of his works have earned him the status of a national artist and one of the most outstanding representatives of Polish realism.

  Transformations. Modernity in the Third Polish Republic

  The exhibition “Transformations. Modernity in the Third Polish Republic” is the last in the “4 x Modernity” series which has been organised at the National Museum in Krakow since 2021. As part of the exhibition, a wide variety of interpretations of modernity are shown in the fields of Polish art, architecture and design, beginning from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and continuing up to the present day. This fourth exhibition will illustrate the phenomenon of the revision of the concept of modernity and its titular transformation, which were contemporaneous with the social, cultural, and political transformations which took place after 1989. A consequence of these transformations was a multiplicity of creative attitudes and a reinterpretation of the code of modernity, which no longer presented a unified and cohesive image yet which brought about a dynamic and diverse polyphony of voices, characteristic of the cultural life of the Third Republic.

  Glitter of gold. From the Collection of the Numismatic Cabinet

  The Emeryk Hutten-Czapski Museum is a very special place. It is first and foremost a kind of national treasury, where the most precious collection of Polish coins and medals is stored. Additionally, it is perhaps the only collection of this type which survived the Second World War virtually without losses despite comprising mainly objects made of gold, which were frequently the first victims of wartime looting and pillage by occupying forces and individuals exploiting the chaos and disruptions of that time.

  Adam Marczyński. Lyricism and Form

  The presentation of more than 60 works from the collections of the National Museum in Krakow and the Museum of Art in Łódź aims to highlight the moment at which the artistic credo of Adam Marczyński was taking form, where the caesura is the 1940s to the mid-1960s. The exhibition examines the post-war output of the artist, who in his later years became interested in geometric abstraction. It is an excellent opportunity to juxtapose the artist’s painted works with the subtle, even poetic drawings and outstanding monotypes. The story ends with works associated with the geometric abstraction movement. Marczyński’s art.

  SIX DAYS OF CREATION

  The Biblical account of the Creation of Heaven and Earth spans 31 verses of the first book of the Old Testament, Bereshit in Hebrew, and Genesis in Latin. The conciseness of this description has excited the literary imagination of humankind since ancient times, and since the Middle Ages it has been a canvas on which to visualise the beginnings of the world.

  The Singer. A Masterpiece by Józef Mehoffer

  Starting in the spring of 1894, Józef Mehoffer, who was on scholarship in Paris, began to devote his free time quite intensively to music. He owed this to having made the acquaintance at that time of the Janakowski sisters, Jadwiga (1871-1956), his future wife, and Wanda (1873-1940), who had come to the French capital to study art. They were from a landowning family in the Eastern Borderlands. Jadwiga developed her painting skills, while Wanda’s forte was singing. Both were particularly fascinated by the music of Richard Wagner

  Matejko. The painter and history

  Among Polish painters, there is perhaps none more universally known than Jan Matejko. His works have accompanied generation after generation of Poles, at the very least from the beginnings of their education in the field of history, though mainly through reproductions in history books at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that the paintings of Matejko have shaped the imagination of the Polish nation on the greatest events of its own history. The painting “The Battle of Grunwald” (The painting is located in the National Museum in Warsaw)by this artist is the Polish painting most forcefully etched into the shared consciousness.

  Exhibition: “What did people read in home alcoves?”

  This exhibition is dedicated to the books that were read in quiet alcoves in the home, a space that allowed readers to explore their private interests and deepen their knowledge, as well as to read for the sheer pleasure and entertainment of reading. Here we will find religious texts and travelogues spanning the 16th to 19th centuries as well as maps and atlases.

  THE CLOTHED HOME: TUNING IN TO THE SEASONAL IMAGINATION

  The exhibition explores the ways in which textiles have been used to reflect the rhythm of seasonal changes in domestic interiors. Today, as we spend most of the time in centrally heated apartments and air-conditioned offices, we have become indifferent to the circadian rhythm and nuances of nature’s changing cycles. Recalling bygone domestic rituals can help us tune in with the seasons again: cultivate our relationship with the natural world and react more attentively to its changes.
