On January 19, the Rector of PJAIT, dr hab. Jerzy Paweł Nowacki, and Ms. Katarzyna Nowak, Director of the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in Kraków, signed a cooperation agreement. In 2024, both institutions are celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of their establishment, which has become an excellent opportunity to launch joint activities at the educational, artistic, and exhibition levels.

The coordinator of the joint activities representing the Manggha Museum is Ms. Aleksandra Kalfas, Deputy Director of the Museum. Meanwhile, the function of coordinator on behalf of PJAIT will be held by dr Jakub Karpoluk. 

The first joint project that has already entered the implementation phase is the exhibition Hiroshige – A Journey into the Woodblock Print (curators: Natalia Buchta Stochel and Klaudia Ptasińska-Wajda). As part of it, students of the Faculty of New Media Arts (English track) working under the supervision of dr Jakub Karpoluk, as well as mng. Edyta Adamczak and mng. Yelyzaveta Pysmak, are creating animated versions of woodblock prints by Utagawa Hiroshige from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The animations will become the basis for constructing large-scale audiovisual installations that will allow viewers to take the titular "journey into the woodblock print." The opening of the exhibition is coming soon.


A joint PJAIT-Manggha research symposium is planned for June 2024, focusing on the role of media in museology and education. The symposium will be hosted by the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology.

We invite you to visit the currently running exhibition Hiroshige 2023 at the Manggha Museum.
