The International Cultural Centre in Krak\u00f3w invites you to a family workshop entitled \u201cThe University Menagerie\u201d. During the May edition of MINI meetings with arts we will hear stories about the animals that once lived in Collegium Maius and other buildings of the Jagiellonian University. We will find out what animals could be found in the university courtyard, who looked after the cats, dogs and exotic specimens, and why some of them became true heroes of academic legends. We\u2019ll follow in the footsteps of former professors and their extraordinary pets, uncover the secrets of the university\u2019s natural history collections, and listen to amusing stories about the animal inhabitants of Collegium Maius. We\u2019ll also discuss how people\u2019s attitudes towards animals have changed and why their protection is so important today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the workshops, children and their carers, with the support of our educators, will create their own artwork inspired by the university\u2019s menagerie. We will combine various techniques and materials, developing imagination and dexterity whilst sparking curiosity about the world.
