Museum Unicorn Volume II — Book Premiere

We invite you to the premiere of the second volume of “Museum Unicorn” by Marta Norenberg!

What can be found in museum showcases? Jewellery excavated from tombs, unusual botanical illustrations, Dutch pottery, objects related to Egyptomania and fans with a fascinating, centuries-old history. And this is just the beginning.

In the second volume of “Museum Unicorn”, Marta Norenberg once again looks into Polish museums to discover the stories hidden in objects — those unusual and those that seem perfectly familiar to us. There will be a gold rush, there will be art deco, there will be people and their stories that have survived thanks to what they left behind.

During the premiere, we will embark together on this curiosities journey through the world of arts and crafts.

If you don't know the first book, all the better! Both volumes can be read in any order.

Join us and see how many extraordinary stories are hidden in the museum's collections.

Marta Norenberg — art historian and goldsmith fascinated by curiosities from the world of artistic crafts. Under the banner of Arts Several since 2013, he has been creating unique jewelry made of silver, and together with the Museum Unicorn he traces the meanings hidden in objects and adds lightness to museum exhibits. All this in order to arouse curiosity and make as many people as possible fall in love with the works of human creativity.

The meeting will be led by Martyna Klix — art historian, popularizer and podcaster. She is the creator of a profile about the art of Gablotki, the Paleta newsletter and the educational platform Konekst. She regularly reviews art-related books in her newsletter and interviews female writers on a podcast.
