155th AnniversaryStanisław Wyspiański, a famous Polish playwright, painter and poet, was born exactly 155 years ago. When Polish currency underwent redenomination in 1995, the value of banknotes with Wyspiański went down from 10000 zlotys to just 1 measly zloty...
... luckily the works of the author of
Wesele (
The Wedding) never underwent redenomination, and they are still valued highly as timeless classics.
