Curatorial context

On May 2, 2026, the Polish Army Museum on Warsaw's Citadel hosted the 'Pod biało-czerwona' event, a special outdoor celebration commemorating the Flag Day of the Republic of Poland. From 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the museum grounds buzzed with visitors participating in a rich program of educational and demonstration activities. The event commenced with a joint rendition of the national anthem accompanied by the Military Orchestra from Dęblin, setting a patriotic tone that underscored the significance of the national colors and their place in Polish military tradition. The day's program included demonstrations of hand-to-hand combat by soldiers from the 25th Air Cavalry Brigade and a parade drill performance by the Military Orchestra. A significant aspect of the event was the exhibition of modern military equipment from the 18th Mechanized Division, featuring a Rosomak wheeled armored personnel carrier, a Cougar 4x4 MRAP vehicle, and an M120 Rak self-propelled mortar. Complementing these were displays of vintage military vehicles used by the Polish Armed Forces in the West during World War II, curated by the Willys Jeep Club. Additionally, stands from various military units and institutions offered direct interaction with soldiers and insights into contemporary military service. The event also catered to an educational and family audience, with a creative zone, workshops, and historical-educational activities for children. A falconry demonstration featuring birds of prey added an engaging element to the program. The 'Pod biało-czerwoną' celebrations provided an opportunity for a collective observance of Flag Day and fostered direct engagement with the history and modern face of the Polish Army, drawing numerous participants and highlighting the value of such initiatives in promoting national heritage and military traditions.
