A military vehicle equipped with a projector will park outside the Museum. The audience will have an opportunity to see a text and sound projection consisting of testimonies of Polish war veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq and their wives.
Premiere screening of a documentary film, sequel to Zabłocie As Found
The film shows the district through individual streets, buildings and their rich histories, which give Zabłocie its unique character. It accentuates the changes that have taken place in this industrial area of Krakow in the recent years.
The screening in the form of looped continuous projection will take place in the audio visual hall.
Take part in a guided tour of The Mieczysław Porębski Library, where the Professor's life and academic output merge with the history of Polish art of the 20th century.
