On February 7, the Museum of the City of Gdynia hosted the grand opening of the exhibition "The Light of Gdynia. Photographs by Bolesława and Edmund Zdanowski, 1945-1970," which is part of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of Gdynia.

The evening was opened by the Museum Director, Karin Moder. This special event was graced by the presence of the Mayor of Gdynia, Aleksandra Kosiorek. The introductory speech was given by Mariusz Bzdęga, Managing Director for Culture and Community Activities.

Dr. Mariusz Sładczyk, Dean of the Faculty of New Media Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, also encouraged visitors to see the exhibition. Dr. Leszek Żurek, a lecturer at the Faculty, spoke to the guests about the exhibition from his perspective as one of its curators. The second curator is Dariusz Małszycki, senior curator and director of the museum's history department. The event attracted many guests interested in both the history of the city and the lives of Bolesława and Edmund Zdanowski.

As a technology partner, PJATK brings digital expertise to the museum space, allowing post-war photography to be viewed through the prism of contemporary visual tools. This collaboration proves that historical heritage and IT innovations are complementary areas that together create a new quality in the experience of culture.

The exhibition presents Gdynia from 1945 to 1970—a city reborn, full of light and optimism, captured in the frames of masters of Polish photography.

The exhibition will run until January 10, 2027.
