is the title of the article from today's Rzeczpospolita about the Polish design exhibition in London.

Victoria & Albert Museum in London opened the first major exhibition of design from the period of the Cold War. Objects from the years 1945 - 1970 are derived from both sides of the Iron Curtain , also in Polish

More than 300 objects on display represent the design, architecture , art and film. You see , among others, model of Sputnik - the first artificial satellite of the Earth , P70 - Trabant car prototype of the German Democratic Republic , the first models of the transistor receivers , photos, TV towers in Moscow and Berlin, and the modernist architecture of Le Corbusier , a scarf designed by Picasso for the World Festival of Youth and Students in Berlin in 1951 and metal By Paco Rabanne dress.


The article is in Polish but it includes some pictures, so enjoy the art lovers.

for those living in London, I am bumping it up, so maybe, just maybe you would go and see it for yourself.

There is more to Polish culture than PF (thank God) and the large amount of thread not related to Poland is growing here.

Where are the MODS?

Do I have to go to Muslim Forum to read about Poland these days?
