Artists and War. Stories of Artists and their Families, Studios and Sculptures during World War II

What was the imprint that the stormy 20th century, considered “the bloodiest” in history, left on the lives and works of sculptors? Who revealed heroism and flights of fantasy, and who remained faithful to artistic work throughout their careers? What did the art life in the stalag II C Woldenberg look like? The following Seniors' Thursday provides an opportunity to talk about destroying and rescuing works of art, ruined studios and sculptures executed by shooting.

Guided by Joanna Torchała, member of the Museum of Sculpture team responsible for the Xawery Dunikowski collection

Admission with a reduced museum ticket (4 zł)
