LELEWEL. The Polish engraver
Joachim Lelewel (1786-1861), a distinguished Pole, politician and historian, went down in Polish historiography as the author of pioneering writings on history, the history of writing and bookselling, and the history of cartography and numismatics of antiquity and the Middle Ages. He worked in Warsaw and Vilnius, where he was professor of general history at the University of Vilnius. After the fall of the November Rising, as an emigrant he stayed briefly in France. In 1833 Belgium gave him shelter. He settled in Brussels, where he spent 28 years of his extremely busy life. His scientific achievements in numismatics from that time brought the Polish scholar international recognition and fame.29.12.2020

Where’s Rome, where’s Crimea… Coinage of the Golden Horde and Crimean Khanate
The establishment of the Mongolian Empire in the early 13th century was the work of Genghis Khan (ca. 1162–1227), one of the greatest chiefs of all time. During his lifetime, he divided the state between his four sons. The westernmost part of the empire, known as the Golden Horde (or traditionally the Ulus of Jochi), included vast territories of Eastern Europe and northern Central Asia. The Golden Horde (1242–1502) flourished the most in the first half of the 14th century, but its downfall began just around a dozen years later. In the 15th century, the Crimean Peninsula, which had been its integral part for two centuries, passed into the hands of an autonomous dynasty of the Girays, who established the independent Crimean Khanate (1441–1783).04.03.2022

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.18.02.2022

URSULA VON RYDINGSVÄRD. Nothing but Art
Monumental sculptures by Ursula von Rydingsvard evoke the ancient notion of sublimity. As we look at them in parks, on squares or incorporated into the wondrous architecture of American buildings, they enthuse us with their dynamic form. They testify to the artist's amazing ability to create poetic pieces made of cedar wood and charged with a personal and emotional touch.13.08.2021
