Discover New Acquisitions: Celebrating Polish Art and Design at the Museum of Warsaw

This exhibition showcases new acquisitions for the Museum of Warsaw's collection, featuring jacquard textile designs by Zofia Matuszczyk-Cygańska and workshop designs from the historic Bracia Łopieńscy firm. The displayed items represent significant Polish art and craftsmanship from the 20th century.

The exhibition 'New Acquisitions of the Museum of Warsaw' highlights significant additions to the museum's collection, focusing on two main areas: jacquard textile designs and workshop projects. The collection includes works by Zofia Matuszczyk-Cygańska, associated with the Spółdzielnia Artystów „Ład” (The „Ład” Artists' Cooperative), and workshop designs from the Bracia Łopieńscy (The Łopieńscy Brothers) firm, a historic Warsaw-based bronze foundry. These acquisitions represent key aspects of Polish art and craftsmanship from the 20th century, preserving valuable heritage that was at risk of degradation or dispersal. The Spółdzielnia Artystów „Ład” was a prominent phenomenon in 20th-century Polish art, particularly known for its jacquard textiles. The museum's collection of "Ład" items now exceeds 1800 inventory entries, including weaving equipment, designs, technical drawings, fabric samples, and finished decorative textiles. The Bracia Łopieńscy firm, founded in 1862, is one of the oldest continuously operating bronze foundries in Warsaw. The acquired workshop projects, primarily from the first quarter of the 20th century, include drawings and designs for goldsmith items like teapots and pitchers, as well as bronze objects such as door handles, fittings, and candlesticks. Many of these designs retain company seals and workshop annotations, offering insights into their production process and style.
