Almost 1,400 people spent the evening at the museum. The first guests arrived shortly after 4:00 p.m. Visitors could enjoy numerous attractions, including a tent with museum publications and souvenirs, children\u2019s workshops on making red poppy corsages, a stand run by a historical re-enactment group, and many other activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere we have original World War II artefacts connected primarily with the 2nd Corps. These are mainly British-made exhibits: uniforms, radio equipment, radio stations, signal lamps, as well as weapons and soldiers\u2019 personal belongings,\u201d said Rados\u0142aw D\u0105browski from the Polish 2nd Corps Museum in J\u00f3zef\u00f3w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While waiting in the long queue to enter the museum, visitors could enjoy hot tea served at the Bia\u0142ystok Waterworks stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first group entered the museum just before 6:00 p.m. An extraordinary exhibit awaited guests in the audiovisual room \u2014 poppies picked at Monte Cassino in 1944 by Leopold Kundycki, a soldier in General Anders\u2019 Army. Visitors also had the opportunity to listen to excerpts from the memoirs of Colonel Romuald Lipi\u0144ski, a participant in the Battle of Monte Cassino, read by Adam Woronowicz, as well as to hear an interview with Peter Kundycki, Leopold\u2019s grandson, who donated the poppies to the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the surprise of one group, their guide through the permanent exhibition turned out to be the museum\u2019s director, Professor Wojciech \u015aleszy\u0144ski. Afterwards, visitors eagerly shared both their family stories and their impressions of the exhibition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe exhibition is truly impressive, especially its layout. Downstairs it is so dark \u2014 you really immerse yourself in the history \u2014 and then upstairs there is this overwhelming whiteness,\u201d said one visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe came because our grandfather was deported to Siberia. Until recently, we knew nothing about his story, but lately we have started taking an interest in his fate,\u201d said another visitor. \u201cThe museum is beautifully designed \u2014 absolutely fantastic \u2014 and the guide was excellent,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were especially delighted by the positive feedback from the youngest participants of this year\u2019s Long Night of Museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c10 out of\u2026 9,\u201d said Stefan after a long moment of consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small gifts awaited the first, the thousandth, and the final visitor of the evening. Thank you for choosing to spend this special evening with us! Those who did not manage to visit the exhibition are warmly invited to the museum tomorrow from 9:30 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
