Ordinary Things: The Art Collection as an Expression of Identity
During this year’s Museum Night, we invite you to a talk exploring art and cultural memory. Can a work of art be something ordinary — close to everyday life, shared, and helping to build a sense of identity?

On March 1, we honor the Cursed Soldiers—heroes of Poland’s post-war independence underground who, after 1945, refused to lay down their arms and resisted Soviet control.
They formed Europe’s largest anti-communist underground, with 120,000–180,000 participants across Poland and the pre-war Eastern Borderlands of the Second Polish Republic. Over 20,000 lost their lives at the hands of the communist regime, and for decades their stories were silenced.
Today, the memory of the Cursed Soldiers is being restored...
Dr. Iwona Korga, President and Executive Director of the Institute, has been selected as the Grand Marshal of the 2026 Pulaski Parade. The Sash Ceremony took place on January 15 at the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Manhattan.
Warmest congratulations!
