This small exhibition presents the work of two photographers remembered for their outdoor nude studies: Georges Louis Arlaud (1869-1944), a photographer from Geneva, remembered for the series that he took in the South of France that were printed as photogravures in "Vingt Études de Nu en Plein Air" (Paris, Horos Editions, 1920) and Marcel Meys (1885-1972), a Parisian painter, known for his nude and autochromes as well, who took female figures inhabiting the natural landscape with their own nude body. Two examples of Pictorialism's emphasis on nature and the nude often found expression in the fusion of both, with the image of a nude female figure in an idyllic natural setting.

(branch of the Tatra Museum)

This exhibition is an attempt to sketch a picture of childhood in the traditional culture of the rural Polish Tatras from the late nineteenth century to the first years after the Second World War. It is often an uneasy image of childhood, marked by poverty - but not devoid of warmth, joyful experiences and dreams. Regardless of the individual features and unique history, childhood determined the nature of the traditional family. The environment of this region influenced this, specifying the type of economic activities and the particularly difficult living conditions.
