As some of you may know, 2017 marked 100 years of the avant-garde movement in Poland. As a result of this momentous occasion, exhibitions celebrating the avant-garde movement were popping up in museums all over the country and throughout the year. All good things must come to an end, however—but not before we're given the chance to check out Muzeum Sztuki's last exhibit as part of their centenary commemoration series. This particular exhibition focuses on the Dutch connection—namely, it presents various Polish avant-garde groups and artists crossed with De Stijl (meaning "the style"), a Dutch movement also known as Neoplasticism. This particular exhibition features about 130 pieces: sculptures, paintings, drawings, scale models, reconstructions, and archive photographs, which have been brought in from various museum collections in Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Brussels, Wrocław, Warsaw, Berlin, Łódź, as well as from various private collections.
