The Stanislaw Witkiewicz Museum of the Zakopane Style at "Koliba"
Division of the Chalubinski Museum of the Tatra Mountains in Zakopane
The Stanislaw Witkiewicz Museum of the Zakopane Style at "Koliba"
The Stanislaw Witkiewicz Museum of the Zakopane Style at "Koliba" The Stanislaw Witkiewicz Museum of the Zakopane Style at "Koliba" Opening hours: Closed Mondays and Tuesdays; open Wednesdays-Saturdays, 9am-4pm; Sundays, 9am-3pm. When the Swiss and Tyrolean architectural style began to appear in Zakopane after 1850, as it did in many other Polish resorts, Stanislaw Witkiewicz realised that to save the Podhale region from non-indigenous architecture, a distinctive style based on local building traditions needed to be created. With the "Koliba" villa, Witkiewicz introduced this new style. It was designed for Zygmunt Gnatowski, the Tatra folklore collector and aficionado. Other objects in the museum include jewellery in the Zakopane style, a silver coffee set, lace, and wooden models of liturgical vessels. Also on display are works by Witkiewicz's son, Stanislaw Ignacy, known as Witkacy, the painter and playwright. |
