One of the most valuable parts of the collection is a unique assembly of works of paper – sketches and drawings – by Andrzej Wajda. Some of the most interesting among these are those made during his trips to Japan. During each of these trips he took notes, made sketches, trying to remember the most significant elements of that different, foreign culture of a strange land.
The warrior culture of the Japanese people that was shaped in the 12th and 13th centuries turned them into a nation that attached tremendous importance to all forms of combat and warfare, and to related skills, for centuries to come, and they always placed high value on objects used in this field.
In this exhibition, both artists are showing their interactive installations, intended not just for viewing but also for sensing: through this interaction, the viewer and the artwork are to become one for the moment.
Almost every day our museum is visited by groups of pupils and students, to view our current exhibitions, but also to take part in additional activities prepared specifically for them. We hold educational exhibits targeting the youngest age group as well.
