#EXHIBITION
In 1947, a study tour from the US visited Warsaw and other Polish cities to see the rebuilding process taking place all around the country. One of the participants was Henry Cobb, architecture student who went on to become head of Architecture Department at Harvard University. Cobb’s impressive color photographs of post-war Warsaw render the scale of Warsaw’s destruction in a much more powerful way than any black&white images. Definitely a must!
The exhibition is open until April 30th
Where: Dom Spotkań z Historią (History Meeting House), ul. Karowa 20

When: 10 AM to 8 PM Tuesday to Friday, 11 AM to 8 PM Saturday&Sunday
