What's On UNTIL 31.12 » BIBLIA PAUPERUM: THE ART OF THE POOR AND EXCLUDED (DEPICTIONS OF GOD IN FOLK ART)
With such an exhaustive title, we’re really not sure what else there’s left to say about this exhibit, but we’ll try. Combining pieces from various exhibits in the Ethnographic Museum’s vast collection, this particular exhibit focuses on images and representations of God and all that is religious and biblical—through the lens of the less-advantaged population. Given the nature of the perspective, you can expect to see a lot of folk art and references to countryside life.QF‑6, Ethnographic Museum, ul. Kredytowa 1, MNowy Świat-Uniwersytet, tel.
