Chandeliers resembling snowflakes, balustrades decorated with chestnut leaves and stained glass windows depicting Copernicus’s revolution \u2013 join us for walks through one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau interiors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Medical Society Building at 4 Radziwi\u0142\u0142owska Street in Krakow is one of Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski’s most important works of applied art. Although the building appears austere and classicist from the outside, inside it hides spaces carefully designed by the artist, with nature as the main decorative motif. At the time of its construction, the building was extremely modern, equipped with central heating, mechanical ventilation and electrical installations, which was a real technological breakthrough at the beginning of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will we see during the walks? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the walks, we will see the Malinowa Hall with its characteristic chairs, visit the reading room and library with preserved friezes and chandeliers, as well as the representative staircase with a balustrade decorated with chestnut leaves and the \u201cApollo\u201d stained glass window. The building also houses the Jagiellonian University\u2019s Museum of the History of Medicine \u2013 the oldest medical museum in Poland and one of the oldest in Europe. The collection includes surgical, pharmacy and pharmaceutical tools, as well as documents related to the history of medical sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Micha\u0142 Wi\u015bniewski will guide you through the Art Nouveau interiors, while Micha\u0142 Chlipa\u0142a will introduce you to the collections of the Museum of the History of Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
