A few words about the stained glass windows
When visiting the Gallery of 20th-Century Polish Art in the NMK, we come across enormous drawings, measuring almost 4.5 and 7 meters, created in watercolour, gouache and pastel techniques. These monumental designs were authored by Stanisław Wyspiański and Józef Mehoffer.
