Several hundred exhibits can be viewed at the exhibition “From Craft to Art – Bolesławiec Ceramics from Reinhold’s Factories,” whose opening took place on Saturday, 18 October. According to Professor Konrad Spindler, the ceramics from Reinhold’s factory were the finest produced in Bolesławiec before the Second World War.
The exhibits come from the collections of the Museum of Ceramics in Bolesławiec, Schlesisches Museum in Goerlitz, the National Museum in Wrocław, Bundesheimatgruppe Bunzlau (Siegburg), the Museum of Former Trade in Świdnica, and private collectors.
This is one of the most important cultural events of the year. “Work on the project lasted six months,” Anna Bober-Tubaj told the IstotneInformacje.pl portal, director of the Museum of Ceramics. Among other things, the researchers managed to contact the heirs of the Reinhold family (the women came to Bolesławiec for the opening of the exhibition).
The opening was combined with the promotion of a richly illustrated bilingual catalogue, which can still be purchased this week at a promotional price of PLN 60 (after that, it will cost PLN 10 more).
The exhibition can be visited until 7 December. Next year, it will be hosted in Goerlitz.
