The Unattainable Earth

After a year's break, an exhibition in the second floor of Kazimierz City Hall reopened. It looks quite different, though. Etnographic Museum in Kraków can be proud of a new permament exhibition which took the name from the collection of poetry written by Czesław Miłosz. With several centuries covered, three hundred work divided up into eight thematic areas, now the exhibition is a story about what art can be when it is not limited to academic walls, the restrictions of style, and a grid of fancy concepts. It is a story about the need for beauty, order and form, which makes art impossible to fit in galleries and museums. A story about unlimited imagination and personal experiences – of those who created this art and continue to do so, of those who needed it and still do. It is a story about what art can be when it is not protected by the walls of learning, confines of style or a range of trendy concepts.

Unattainable Earth presents works of a number of interesting representations of primitive artists, e.g. works of Nikifor, aka Epifan Drowniak. Admission to the exhibition is included in the ticket price
