TO THE MOUNTAINS! CERAMIC ART 1930-1950
THE ITALIAN SEASON IN ZAKOPANE
May 15 – October 31, 2010
The Art Gallery in Koziniec
ul. Koziniec 8, Zakopane
This collection of artistic ceramics with mountains as the subject is part of Italy's National Mountain Museum's collection. There are rare items in it, now difficult to obtain, but they are part of the history of our homes, or rather of our grandmothers' and mothers' drawing rooms. They did not serve any practical function but were rather unusual forms of decoration.

LOOKING AT THE ALPS. THE PIEDMONT MOUNTAINS IN PHOTOGRAPHS 1870-1940
THE ITALIAN SEASON IN ZAKOPANE
May 15 – October 31, 2010
The Museum of the Zakopane Style at Koliba villa
ul. Kościeliska 18, Zakopane
Looking at the Alps is not just the title of this exhibition; it is what every Piedmontese does every time he raises his eyes and sees, almost magically, a backdrop of peaks and valleys on the horizon. These are the mountains that surround the Piedmont region, that characterise it, and have become part of its name.

FRUITY MOUNTAINS. FRUIT BOX LABELS FROM 1900-1960
THE ITALIAN SEASON IN ZAKOPANE
May 15 – October 31, 2010
The Władysław Hasior Gallery
ul. Jagiellońska 18 b, Zakopane
This collection of 160 labels with mountain motifs used on boxes to transport fruit dates from between 1900 and 1960 and constitutes an unusual look at the world of mountains. It comes from Italy's National Mountain Museum's collection in Turin. Fruit box labels are a typically American phenomenon. They appeared in the American West when the gold rush came to an end and the pioneers who had settled in the Rocky Mountains began to grow fruit and vegetables. Among the 160 labels on display, we find examples from Canada and Spain, but also a significant collection of Italian labels.
