8 June - Muzeum Historii Polski


Monday was the highly anticipated visit with the assistant director of the Muzeum Historii Polski / Museum of Polish History Dariusz Barański and Małgorzata Żaryn, education director. Theirs is a relatively new museum,established by the Ministry for Culture and National Heritage on May 2, 2006. They are currently holding a competition for the design of the building itself.
It could not have been a better time to meet. At first they were speechless, but not due to lack of interest, but because we exceeded their ideal partner profile.They had been brainstorming about their North American programs. We received copies of their pamphlets, booklets and discussed the possibilities of programs, camps,and educational outreach.
We look forward to working with them on projects such as their current “Families Separated by War”.
