New museum in Krakow

On Sunday a new museum called I Remember opened in Krakow. The museum is the youngest amongst Krakow’s museums, and showcases Jewish art in Poland. The museum will also serve as a place to celebrate the career, art works and paintings of Chaim Goldberg. His son Shalom Goldberg explained that the opening was sudden after he got a call from a local art curator who wanted to celebrate his father’s work. The museum is open from May 9th and will cost 18 PLN. [LoveKrakow]
