Art Nouveau World Day in Poland

The Art Nouveau World Day celebrations in Poland were met with great enthusiasm on the part of visitors participating in the programme organized by ICIMSS in cooperation with the Best-highschool in Torun. About 150 young people took part in an Art Nouveau quiz; each good answer was awarded an issue of Uncommon Culture. In a lecture dedicated to "Art Nouveau as a cultural phenomenon" stunning photographs of Art Nouveau objects and architecture were shown, among them also three pictures of artworks created by Ödön Lechner. The opening of the new exhibition "Art Nouveau architecture from kujawsko- pomorskie region" completed this wonderful day full of Art Nouveau.

ICIMSS is looking forward to the 3rd Art Nouveau World Day in June 2015.
