The new exhibition at the National Museum in Wroclaw constitutes the first attempt of museology to present the so far largely unnoticed, unappreciated and ignored phenomenon in the history of art in this region. It also demonstrates the stylistic changes taking place in Silesia in the second half of the 18th century, and then the renewed fascination in these trends in the late 19th and the early 20th century. Finally, it also tries to answer the question of whether the Rococo style is attractive and of interest to modern viewers.

Over 500 exhibits include paintings, sculptures, clothes and fashion accessories, prints, dinnerware, furniture, photographs and video installations, and originate from museums, as well as churches. It is available from 14 July 2023 to 14 January 2024. The exhibition will be accompanied by a published catalogue.
