The wartime fate of The Polyptych of Lusina

A comprehensive examination of source materials documenting the wartime fate of the polyptych from Lusina has uncovered a wealth of previously unpublished information. The investigation encompassed Polish-, English-, and German-language historical documents from the World War II era and the years that followed, including archives held at the National Museum in Krakow and the National Museum in Warsaw. American military archives, war and post-war periodicals, exhibition catalogs, and literature describing the plundering art policies of Nazi Germany, particularly the activities of the Dienststelle Mühlmann (Mühlmann Office) in Krakow, were also thoroughly scrutinized.

Verlorenen Teile des Polyptychon aus Lusina

Zwei Flachreliefs, die ursprünglich zu einem spätgotischen Altarretabel (sog. Polyptychon aus Lusina) gehörten, gelten als Kriegsverluste des Nationalmuseums in Kraków. Das Ziel des Projekts, das im Rahmen des Programms „Badanie polskich strat wojennych“ („Erforschung polnischer Kriegsverluste“) realisiert wird, ist es, die Ergebnisse der technologischen Untersuchungen erhaltener Flügel des Polyptychons einem breiten Publikum zur Verfügung zu stellen.

The Myth of the Golden Fleece

The Golden Fleece, the title motif of the Georgia exhibition, derives from the oldest accounts of Greek mythology. It is an extraordinary tale of the mad courage of a few dozen Greek adventurers lured by tales of a land where the golden fleece (undoubtedly synonymous with greater riches) was stored. The heroes set out into the unknown in the hope of reaching this mythical place and capturing this gold. Imagine how ancient those times were, when even to the Greeks the Black Sea seemed to be a body of water of unrecognised size, and the lands to the north of it remained unknown. In ancient times, this story was mentioned by Homer in the Odyssey and by Pindar in his Fourth Pythian Ode.

  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.

DIXIT MNK - THE OFFICIAL ADD-ON TO THE GAME WITH PAINTINGS BY POLISH MASTERS OF ART

Modern artists create unusual, meaningful paintings that perfectly spark the mind and allow you to dream up a wide range of connotations and discover them with your family and friends. However, classical art can be just as inspiring! A one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience the art from the collection of the National Museum in Krakow at home is a collaboration between our museum and partners: the Libellud studio (France), creators of the game, and the Rebel company, its Polish distributor. Classic art captured the minds of game fans for a moment. And there are many signs that it's just the beginning of the story.
