During the September lecture, continuing the topic addressed in the last lecture for the Museum of the Third Age, we will talk about the mysteries of 16th-century bourgeois portraits, the intricacies and secrets of Rococo mythological compositions, and the extraordinary 18th-century painter Dorothea Therbusch-Lisiewska. Free tickets available on the day of the lecture from 10:00 AM - September 23 Recipe for a Cathedral / Barbara Tichy Canon law regulations clearly define the function of the cathedral church in diocesan administration. However, the role played by the cathedral in the community of city residents, who built its walls over many generations, is a more complex story. Let's look at the builders of medieval cathedrals, their workshops, and the ideas they followed. The fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on April 15, 2019 – a dramatic event that captured the world's attention – paradoxically became an opportunity for contemporary conservators to join the relay of generations and continue the work of medieval craftsmen. Free tickets available on the day of the lecture from 10:00 AM - September 30 Secrets of Conservation / Katarzyna Ampt What is auripigment? What is doubling used for? How long did the conservation and restoration of the Battle of Grunwald take? Conserving artworks requires extensive knowledge and is quite a challenge. We will uncover the secrets of conservators' workshops and look at the most spectacular results of their work.
