PIOTR KROCHMALSKI. WORKS ON PAPER
Friday, September 15, starting at 17.00:XNUMX p.m., at the Museum of the History of Transylvania opens a series of artistic events initiated by WIT Szkoła Wyższa pod auspicjami PAN [WIT University under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences] and curated by Prof. Dr. Habil. Vlad Țoca and Dr. Ioana Gruiță, MNIT specialist in art history.
The exhibitions will be open to the public between September 15 and 29, 2023.
The first of them is 𝙴𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚜𝚎: Works on paper.
Explaining the motivations for his actions, Piotr Krochmalski expresses his disbelief in the permanence of the material. He knows about the paintings on Egyptian papyrus that have survived, but he does not want to believe that paper can also last for centuries.
Spontaneous and disinterested creativity certainly reveals the character of the artist in the highest degree and gives him a leading place among those skilled in hand, eye, heart and mind. Piotr Krochmalski is one of those rare Polish expressions of surrealism, but at the same time reveals an exceptional sensitivity to color. He is an excellent painter, with an equally excellent drawing. And what if it's on paper! As long as it's good at anything.

Along with pharaohs, pyramids, the Sphinx and mummies, one of the most interesting discoveries related to the civilization of Ancient Egypt was writing. Hieroglyphic writing, whose name comes from the Greek word "hieroglyphikos", means "sacred sculpture". The Egyptians decorated their temples, monuments and tombs with hieroglyphic writing. Deciphering this writing began with the Rosetta Stone. In 1799, French soldiers under Napoleon's command in Egypt, while repairing a fort in the city of Rashid (also known as Rosetta), discovered a stone slab. It was covered with characters in three different scripts – hieroglyphic, demotic and ancient Greek. Between 1822 and 1824, the French linguist Jean-Francois Champollion succeeded in deciphering the text. If you are curious to know more, we are waiting for you at the museum!

MNIT is co-organizer of the temporary exhibition "Memory of Petőfi and the relics of the Hungarian revolution and liberation struggle of 1848-1849", opened on August 14, 2023, at the Reformed Museum of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca. The exhibition was organized on the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the Hungarian revolution and struggle for independence of 1848-49 and the 200th anniversary of the birth of the poet Sándor Petőfi.
In this event, MNIT is present with approx. 50 museum pieces from the collections of the Museum of Relics of the 1848-49 Revolution in Cluj. This museum was a Hungarian cultural institution established in 1892 with the aim of collecting objects, documents and historical data related to the Hungarian revolution. A significant part of the heritage of the Museum of Relics of the Revolution from 1848-49 ended up in the administration of the National History Museum of Transylvania in 1976.
The exhibition showcases objects of daily use belonging to both great personalities - Lajos Kossuth, Iosif Bem, Sándor Teleki, Áron Gábor - and to lesser-known or even anonymous characters, whose destinies were closely linked to the events of 1848-49.
Organizers: The National History Museum of Transylvania in Cluj-Napoca, respectively the Szekler National Museum and the Liszt Institute – Hungarian Cultural Center, in Sfântu Gheorghe
Partners: Haáz Rező Museum in Odorheiu Secuiesc.

Our mission is a combination of the desire to promote classical music at the highest level and the need to share the accumulated experiences with future generations of musicians.

THE LITTLE ARCHEOLOGIST
.
.
The "Little Archaeologist" summer school in Costești, Hunedoara, an activity within the museum education project "Capital of Dacia - living museum of European cultural heritage", is currently being held. The participating students come from schools in Orăștioara de Sus, Beriu and other schools in Hunedoara county.
We try to introduce them to archaeology, to familiarize them with its basic notions, with the role, purpose and methods used in archaeological research in general, as well as with the major archaeological discoveries in the Orăștiei Mountains. What you see in the pictures is the dedication with which the students created their badges. We divided them into 3 teams and that's how they will compete until the end of the camp. We have wolves, bears and bison, we no longer have simple students. The force is on our side.
Good luck too congratulations colleagues from MNIT involved in the project: Cristian Roman and Dana Gheorghe-Şerban!
