First of all, do have a look around our recently opened exhibitions: Economics in Art, the MOCAK New Collection, and the two exhibitions taking place as part of the Photomonth in Krakow: Tadeusz Rolke and Ghislain Dussart. Participants in our Museums at Night will be able to visit our new Re Gallery, located in the Gatehouse of the former Schindler Factory. The Gallery will be used to display the works of art students from Poland and all over the world. Visitors will have an opportunity to listen to a recording of the concert that will have inaugurated the activities of the gallery during its opening the day before, on 16 May, performed by the students of the Studio of Spatial Activities (PDP) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, conducted by Prof. Mirosław Bałka. The PDP Orchestra will perform a music piece inspired by the history and culture of Krakow.
