Jozef Czapski’s Pavilion
Emeryk Hutten-Czapski Museum
Józefa Piłsudskiego
Kraków, September 2018
“Józef Czapski’s pavilion is the newest and smallest building, forming part of the Emeryk Hutten-Czapski Museum complex, department of the National Museum in Cracow. Built in the back of the former garden adjacent to the Łoziński tenement, the pavilion is dedicated to the grandson of the creator of the most valuable numismatic collection in Poland, the eminent Polish intellectual, writer, painter and critic. The idea of building the pavilion is associated with Józef Czapski’s testament, executed in 1994, in which he posthumously gave his archives, including the invaluable diaries, personal mementos and books, as well as documents of his sister Maria Czapska (1894-1981) and other Czapski family members, to the National Museum in Krakow.” (The Czapski’s Pavilion, National Museum in Kraków)
