Siberia is already here. The connection between Krakow and Siberian North is tangible and long-lasting, beautiful and surprising. In the exhibition, you can see the objects which people condemned to exile in Siberia for participating in the January Uprising brought back with them. There were also those who went there voluntarily to experience an adventure and get rich. And this all happened at the time when the grandparents of today's grandparents were children!
The Quarantine Collection is a virtual exhibition which consists of stories about things we experience during the pandemic: moments of uncertainty and horror, joy and emotion, fatigue, anger, powerlessness and loneliness.
You can keep an eye on how the collection is being created. You can also make it together with us. Will you join us?
