The Art of Makeup: From Ancient Rituals to Hollywood Glamour

We invite you to the opening of a special exhibition prepared in collaboration with students of the Państwowe Liceum Sztuk Plastycznych im. Leona Wyczółkowskiego w Bydgoszczy.

The photograms on display become a starting point for a story about beauty, health, hygiene, and the canons of beauty that have changed over the centuries. Together we will trace the path from ancient rituals to contemporary trends, looking at how people throughout the ages emphasized their individuality and expressed themselves.

Discover how culture, art, and social change have shaped the way we perceive beauty.
