The Museum could not miss the 13th edition of Opole Culture Night. Our exhibitions, workshops, film screenings and a lecture perfectly fit in the programme of the event proposed by Opole institutions. On the Friday evening, the threshold of our seat at 3 Minorytów Street in Opole crossed more than 400 people.

The Museum visitors, regardless of their age, couldn’t say it was boring. An interest was aroused both by the permanent exhibition entitled The Site of National Remembrance in Łambinowice – the regional, national, European heritage and the temporary one: Mascot Animals in the Polish Armed Forces in 1918-1945, which will be presented in the Museum until August. The theme of animals occurred also in other points of our programme, i.e. at the art workshops Wojtek! Help us find our way home, the broadcast of an animated film Wojtek the Bear, and a board game where the protagonist was also a bear - a friendly corporal of the 2nd Polish Corps from the time of World War II. The youngest visitors eagerly participated in these events, taking part in quizzes and winning prizes.

A lecture entitled The Archaeology of Crime - Sources, Methods, Potential met with no less interest, although it was already attended by an adult audience. Dr Dawid Kobiałka talked about modern methods and techniques of archaeological research used in discovering and documenting material remains of the Second World War. 

And when it got darker outside, the Museum courtyard turned into an open-air cinema. The audience could watch any (or all) of the 17 episodes of documentary films that make up ...but that’s a different story now series. And it is already today that we are announcing the premiere of the next episode, which will take place next Monday at 6 p.m., on the Museum's Facebook page.
