View Larger Image

I warmly invite you to visit the exhibition “Kielce Marbles. Tradition and Contemporary Art” at the Museum of Dialogue of Cultures, a branch of the National Museum in Kielce, open until March 16, 2025. As the National Museum in Kielce writes on its website: “The main theme presented in the exhibition is the activity of an enterprise operating continuously since 1874, commonly known in Poland as Kielce Marbles. Over the course of 150 years of activity, the company repeatedly changed its legal status and name, experiencing both successes and difficulties.”

An important part of the exhibition consists of exhibits from my collection of historical securities. On this occasion, I would like to express my gratitude to the curator and coordinator of the exhibition, Dr. Paweł Król, for inviting me to participate in such a distinguished project. Among the partners of the exhibition are the Polish Association of Stonemasons and the State Archives in Kielce.
