Museum of Krakow on the exhibition (our translation; the museum publishes this text in Polish only):
&amp;ldquo;Under a Knitted Sky&amp;rdquo; is a project made 100% by hand by women and men who knit and who take an active part in the life and running of the &amp;ldquo;Krakow knitters&amp;rdquo; group. In 2025 we started a campaign that brought together more than 100 interested people, united by one goal - to make enough 50 cm by 50 cm crochet squares to build a shade against the sun, ideally on the streets of Krakow. We wanted to show that a community like ours can together create something that serves not only our own community but society as a whole. We drew our inspiration from the Spanish town of Alhaurín de la Torre, Málaga, where knitters joined forces to make a shade against the sun, lowering the temperature in the streets by 5 degrees Celsius.</description><category>exhibitions</category></item><item><title>Yiannis Kranidiotis.

It has its own ticket and runs until 21 February 2027.
National Museum in Krakow on the exhibition:
The exhibition aligns with the latest research on the material culture of the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) and helps explain why Cepelia - an institution of enormous social and cultural influence - continues to provoke mixed emotions even among museum professionals and specialists. It is a story about ideas, ambitions, aesthetics, and tensions that shaped Polish interiors in the second half of the 20th century and left a lasting mark on collective memory.</description><category>exhibitions</category></item><item><title>Nowa Huta - Dimitrovgrad</title><link>https://muzea.waw.pl/krakow/en/museums/nowa-huta-museum/exhibitions/nowa-huta-dimitrovgrad/</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:59:39 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://muzea.waw.pl/krakow/en/museums/nowa-huta-museum/exhibitions/nowa-huta-dimitrovgrad/</guid><description>Two towns planned from scratch for heavy industry now stand side by side on the pedestrian stretch of Aleja Róż.

Bunkier Sztuki Contemporary Art Gallery on the exhibition (the gallery&amp;rsquo;s own English text):
The Language of Pearls is an exhibition of works by Celine Levitan, in which sewing becomes a form of pictorial thinking. The artist consistently defines her works as paintings, even though they are produced from fabrics, embroidery, and patchwork appliqués, lavishly decorated with sequins, faux pearls, and plastic stones. The material serves no utilitarian purpose here. It becomes the fabric of the image: it allows for the construction of successive layers of representation, saturated with colour, light, and meaning, which, as the artist herself emphasises, she would be unable to achieve in the traditional medium of painting.</description><category>exhibitions</category></item><item><title>Kinga Nowak.

In autumn 2026, Bunkier Sztuki will present a solo exhibition by Kinga Nowak, one of the most compelling figures in contemporary Polish painting and sculpture.

National Museum in Krakow on the exhibition:
This anniversary exhibition, organised to mark the 130th anniversary of the artist’s birth and in the year dedicated to him, provides an opportunity to explore the many facets of Czapski’s art - hence its title. Dr Magdalena Ludera, the curator and author of the exhibition script, focused on Czapski as a painter and draughtsman, paying particular attention to his creative process. She pushed into the background the Czapski who was better known as a writer, diarist and art critic, as well as the Czapski who was a witness to the painful history of Poland and 20th-century Europe.</description><category>exhibitions</category></item><item><title>Mirella von Chrupek.

Bunkier Sztuki on the exhibition (the gallery&amp;rsquo;s own English text):
Mirella von Chrupek’s project, Romance au chocolat, is your entry into a cocoa-scented dreamscape. Five display cases. Five stories. One sweet chocolate universe. Each one tells its own story, yet they are all tied together by a single motif: chocolate, appearing in different shapes, roles and fantasies. Sometimes chocolate forms the very landscape itself; other times it becomes the hero of the scene - a precious artefact, a symbolic centerpiece, or even an almost human character.</description><category>exhibitions</category></item><item><title>Now Everything Will Be Different: Karolina Breguła</title><link>https://muzea.waw.pl/krakow/en/museums/manggha/exhibitions/now-everything-will-be-different/</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2026 09:45:01 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://muzea.waw.pl/krakow/en/museums/manggha/exhibitions/now-everything-will-be-different/</guid><description>Films, photographs and a book that the Polish artist Karolina Breguła made in Taiwan: about residents pushed out of Daguan, a district near Taipei cleared for demolition, and about the seaside village of Xincuo, where the elements are reshaping the land. Of the Manggha Museum&amp;rsquo;s four current exhibitions, this is the only one that is not about Japan. It runs at the museum&amp;rsquo;s Europe - Far East Gallery until 25 October 2026.</description><category>exhibitions</category></item><item><title>Andrzej Pawłowski.

These were abstract moving images of light that Andrzej Pawłowski played live from a hand-operated projector in the 1950s, including on the stage of Kantor&amp;rsquo;s Cricot 2 theatre. It opened on 16 February 2026, forty years to the day after the artist&amp;rsquo;s death, and Cricoteka has not announced a closing date.

The Podgórze Museum tells its story through the people who ran it, using the keepsakes they saved, because much of the hotel&amp;rsquo;s paperwork is lost or in private hands.
