Curator of the exhibition: Magdalena Karnicka


The exhibition showcases the 18th-century medals, plaques, tokens and medal dies from the collection of the National Museum in Wrocław.

Lovers of medals (and not only them) can see works by such artists as Jean Dassier, Matthäus Donner, Jean Duvivier, Nicolas-Marie Gatteaux, Johann Philipp Holzhaeusser and Franz Andreas Schega. The presented artefacts commemorate, among others, rulers and members of their families, state officials, scientists, writers, actors, historic events, and new buildings. Many exhibits belong to special series of medals, with those dedicated to the crown heads of Lotharingia being of particular interest.
