We would like to invite you to an exhibition that will remind you of the extremely colourful and diverse work of Józefa Kogut (1902-1979) - a master of applied arts and crafts. This is the first opportunity to see the entire legacy of this phenomenal artist, stored in the Ethnographic Museum in Kraków. The collection contains nearly 200 works of art - stunning ornaments and paintings on fabric, wood and paper. Together they form a representative sample of the artist's unique imagination. The works of the artists invited to contribute to the exhibition will also testify to her extraordinary inspirational power.

Details to follow soon.
