OLD AND MODERN POLISH TEMPLES

The exhibition "Old and Modern Polish Temples" offers an insight into the wealth of the Polish national heritage by showing churches of various denominations built within the former and present borders of Poland.

Erected of the course of over a thousand years of Polish history, the temples testify to tolerance - a concept deeply embedded in our culture going back to the times when Poland was a shelter for various unorthodox believers from other parts of Europe.

The exhibition evidences the relatively unknown multiethnic character of the country and its longstanding presence in the European culture - on the continent whose identity was largely shaped by various religious denominations.
