years 1964 and 1965, seventeen items were published, including one publication in
French (L’Art a Cracovie entre 1350 et 1550, Cracovie 1965). During that period,
a series of scholarly works, dealing with both the Museum Collections and with
other problems, and written by the individual members of the staff of the Museum,
were published in various reference books and in Polish and foreign periodicals.

both in Poland and abroad.

natorjr talks; presentation of films on art and culture; lectures and talks organized
in Houses of Culture, clubs, common rooms and regional museums; lectures on
