Visit Villa Decius
We invite you to visit Villa Decius - a European heritage site.
Erected in 1535 in Wola Justowska at the outskirts of Krakow, Villa Decius is one of the finest and most complete examples of a suburban Renaissance residence. Between the 16th and 19th century, it was a place of residence of many distinguished families, starting with the Decius family, who were the Villa's first owners, and then, among others: the Lubomirski and Sanguszko families, the counts Kuczkowski, and the princes Czartoryski. The exhibition of paintings from the Regional Museum in Nowy Sącz and furniture from the National Museum in Krakow are a mere substitute to the rich furnishing that was undoubtedly ordered to the Villa by its past owners.

SCULPTURE EXHIBITION
Until 27 November, we invite you to Krystyna Nowakowska's 50th anniversary sculpture exhibition. The exhibition is the author's selection of 29 titles, past achievements of the sculptor, who has hundreds of realisations to her credit. The most frequent recurring motifs in Krystyna Nowakowska's work are angels, chairs, dance and women. Among them, the motif to which she devotes particular attention is dance. which is reflected in the titles exhibited at the exhibition, such as: ‘Flamenco III’, “Flamenco VII”, “In the rhythm of flamenco”. Another important theme of Krystyna Nowakowska's sculptures is the woman. These works are dominated by simplified, geometric forms that are a record of emotions and fleeting moments. It is not without reason that the slender ‘Woman in red’ is placed in the central part of the exhibition.
Visiting the exhibition:
- on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm
- on selected Sundays:
10 November from 11.00 am to 6.00 pm
