This series of events, titled 'Spotkania z rekonstruktorami' (Meetings with Reenactors), offers a deep dive into the 18th-century culture and customs of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, coinciding with the 260th anniversary of King Stanisław August's election. Led by members of the Towarzystwo Stanisławowskie, a reenactment group dedicated to the era of Stanisław August, these sessions bring history to life through expert talks, historical games, and demonstrations. The program includes sessions on the game 'Asalto', exploring its history, rules, and the creation of its game board, alongside insights into 18th-century military uniforms and the reforms of the Polish army during the king's reign.
