On June 21, 2024, the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu (Romania) will hold the opening of the exhibition entitled The Tatras. Wróblewski, Karłowicz, Wyczółkowski. The exhibition, which was hosted last year at the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in Krakow, will make a new appearance at the museum in Sibiu. At the same time, its inauguration will mark the launch of the first ever Poland-Romania Cultural Season 2024-2025, which aims to develop and strengthen cultural cooperation between the two countries.

Among the works on display are a series of inks by Andrzej Wróblewski with views of the Tatra Mountains (from 1952-53) and the artist’s geometric abstractions from 1948, prints of mountain landscapes by Mieczysław Karłowicz, and prints by Leon Wyczółkowski inspired by Japanese aesthetics, including unique trial prints from his 1906 portfolio of Eight Aquatints. The works come from nine private collections, the National Museum in Kraków and the Dr Tytus Chałubiński Tatra Museum in Zakopane. Mieczysław Karłowicz’s photographs will be on display courtesy of the PTTK Central Centre for Mountain Tourism in Krakow.

The exhibition is organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the Andrzej Wróblewski Foundation, the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in Krakow, in cooperation with the Brukenthal National Museum, the Romanian Ministry of Culture and the Polish Institute in Bucharest.

Exhibition open from June 22 to September 1, 2024
