The exhibition called “Black dress. Patriotic women in the fight for freedom” (September 15, 2023–January 28, 2024) is dedicated to the role of women in the greatest national uprising of the 19th century, i.e. the January Uprising. Its 160th anniversary is celebrated in 2023. The exhibition takes place at the Pan Tadeusz Museum (Branch of the Ossoliński National Institute) and comprises two parts: the first one is devoted to the contribution of Polish women to the January Uprising, while the second one refers to more modern times, namely the revolutionary uprisings of women of the “Solidarity” period. The exhibition reminds visitors of the great commitment of Polish patriotic women who ardently fought for freedom in large numbers.
„Fredro for Children” exhibition is part of the 7th Literary Traditions Festival. The author of „The Revenge” is one of its patrons, together with a poet Wisława Szymborska. The festival’s mission is to remind about works by authors considered classics and – which often goes hand in hand – read mostly by reluctant students and Polish literature scholars.
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.
