Exhibitions

The photographs were taken by Jadwiga Nowak-Jeziorańska over a period of more than twenty years and on four continents. Greta was not a professional photographer, her main occupation after the war was to support the professional activity of her husband, Jan Nowak-Jeziorański, and run the house. This is what the title of the exhibition refers to (“Extracurricular activities”), namely occupations she took up only for herself, in addition to her chores, because she herself considered them to be her “extra jobs”.

The first part of the main exhibition, called The "Pan Tadeusz" Manuscript, is a story which leads us into the Romantic era.

The exhibition Mission: Poland is the story of Poland's 20th century, based on the lives of Jan Nowak-Jeziorański and Władysław Bartoszewski. Their experiences form a key part of a generation's history, having both been raised in a Poland liberated after 123 years of partitions, and yet which in 1939 was once again forced to battle for its own freedom.

The “Pan Tadeusz Różewicz” exhibition is a tale about the life of one of the greatest Polish writers. The narrative is built with eleven dialogs between Tadeusz Różewicz and the world or between Różewicz’s work and other people.
