Changes in Warsaw captured

John Vachon was an American photographer who worked for the government of the USA. He came to Poland three times: in 1946 to capture how the people had survived the apocalypse and would restore the city from ruins, in 1956 to observe the development of the communist city and in 1963 to catch a glimpse of a country behind the Iron Courtain. He portrayed the faces of random workers and stunning actresses, the damage done in the city during the WW II and the impressive silhouette of the Palace of Culture and Science which looked like a structure from outer space in the poor, destroyed city (rare colour photographs from that period!). See how this city had been changing a few decades ago!

#EXHIBITION #ATTRACTION

Fotoplastykon, a 100 year old 3d show

Ever heard of Kaiserpanoramas (“fotoplastikon” in Polish)? They were devices popular at the turn of the 20th century that allowed to watch photographs in 3d. One of very few existing fotoplastikons is… (wait for it) in Warsaw! With thousands of photographs in its archives it constantly changes exhibitions. The current one features pictures from pre-war eastern Poland. An unbelievable experience
