SCIENCE INSPIRES... VISITING MUSEUMS

One of the most interesting museums in Lodz is located in the magnificent mansion built for the family of one of the wealthiest factory owners of the 19th century Lodz, Izrael K. Poznańki. Apart from the exhibition of its interiors from the turn of the 19th and 20th century and the exhibition chronicling the history of the industrial Lodz, a number of rooms have been dedicated to artists related to the city and those who were meritorious to the city’s inhabitants. Those exhibitions showcase memorabilia of Artur Rubinstein, Julian Tuwim, Władysław Reymont, and Marek Edelman. 

Together with international researchers, our team visited the museum on 17 March. We had a tour of the museum with an English-speaking guide, who talked in detail about all the events and works of art. The tour has given us a historic insight into the city of Lodz and was an unforgettable and informative experience.

Thank you for joining us!

SCIENCE INSPIRES... MODERN ART MUSEUM

We were extremely happy to invite you to a Modern Art Museum in Lodz within the Science Inspires initiative. A tour with an English-speaking guide was surely very informative and exciting. 

Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź is one of the oldest museums of modern art in the world. Collection, representing the main directions of art, such as Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism, Purism, Neoplasticism and Surrealism was open to public on 15th February 1931. The collection has since been consistently expanded by including international modern and contemporary artworks. Due to this fact Muzeum Sztuki is now the only museum in Poland with such extensive collection of world art of the 20th and 21st century.

Thanks to everyone who was able to share this expereience with us! 

SCIENCE INSPIRES... LANGUAGE EXCHANGE

The International Hub Team has again met with international researchers working at the University of Lodz. We were able to talk about our countries, cultural differences and research interests. We had a great time together!

Thanks to everyone who was able to join us!
