Are you planning to visit Kraków this winter?
From 10th October till 8th March there is wonderful exhibition in the International Cultural Center in Kraków: The Myth Of Galicia.

"Galicia no longer exists. It disappeared from the map of Europe in 1918 together with the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, whose province it had been. Yet, it still lives as a imagined space in the collective imagination and memory. The Krakow exhibition seeks to answer the question about the source and contemporary condition of the myth, trying to find out why literature, visual arts, and film still refer to it, while Galicia itself is used as an attractive brand."

And, of course, we invite you to our PO Galicia Tour in 2015. We will also try to give you the insight to Galicia's history and its traces in contemporary culture of this part of Poland.
