We are delighted to announce that the second stage of the renovation of the open-air exhibition 'Courage and Reconciliation' is now underway. This time, the renovation work focused primarily on the benches in the amphitheatre, which have been badly damaged after years of use and exposure to the elements.
"Courage and Reconciliation" is the title of a permanent outdoor exhibition in Krzyżowa prepared by the Polish History Museum in cooperation with the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe. On 20 November 2014, the exhibition was officially opened by Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz and Chancellor Angela Merkel. The exhibition was created on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Reconciliation Mass.
The exhibition has an open-air character and has taken the form of a labyrinth ending in an amphitheatre space with a symbolic table in the middle. The images lead us through the history of Polish-German relations from 1 September 1939 to 12 November 1989.
In early 2021, during the first stage of the renovation, the graphic elements of the exhibition were renewed.
The renovation work is funded by the Polish History Museum and is being carried out under the supervision of the Sowa-Szenk Design Studio, which was responsible for the spatial concept of the exhibition.
