We’ll visit an exhibition of Wloclawek’s modernist architecture, organised by architectural historian Michal Pszczółkowski, where the citizens of Wloclawek were able to rediscover their history. We’ll visit the Wloclawek branch repository of the State Archives in Toruń and learn about famous Polish women architects of the interwar period. At the time, it was believed that a building designed by a woman could collapse.

What to see Museum of the Kuyavia and Dobrin Lands (arch. Stefan Narębski) - faience products from this factory once made Wloclowek famous. You’ll learn that the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus also studied here. In Toruń, we’ll visit the family of the Vilnius architect Stefan Narębski. The Museum of Wloclawek resembles Vilnius Antakalnis Gymnasium.

In the apartment of Narębski, we’ll see the architect’s original designs and drawings, as well as furniture he brought from Vilnius. The architect’s daughter-in-law, Anna Narębska will tell about her family, who were deported to Siberia in 1941.
What people say
from the eye and from the heart
Lech Narębski,
restorer
When the Soviets came, many Polish families lost their property, their traditions, which is why what we have, what we have managed to preserve, we value a lot.
Anna Narębska,
contemporary
Vilnius is incomparable. Travelling around the world makes the places of your birth smaller, but it doesn’t make them less important. Countries have their own history. Cities have their own. Families have their own histories too.
Michał Pszczółkowski,
architectural historian
The old building is a treasure, maybe my grandfather or great-grandfather lived here. But when everything looks new, this impression is lost.
