On the unforgettable visit in Krynica
The exhibition presents the unique visit, which became a local social sensation in 1937. Princess Julianna, the heir to the Dutch throne, and prince Bernard, right after their wedding ceremony in Hague, have arrived in Krynica to spend here their honeymoon. Invited by the world-famous tenor, Jan Kiepura, the young couple have decided to stay in his villa “Patria”. At the exhibition, a reconstruction of the visit set in the atmosphere of Krynica from 1930s presents this historic event. The visit had an interesting epilogue. A year after their stay in Krynica, the couple have been presented with a Polish cradle (design: Jan Boguslawski) as a gift for the birth of their daughter, which later became the queen of Netherlands, Beatrix. This piece of furniture has been preserved by the Organizator: The Association of the Muszyna Almanac’s Friends.
