"Polish and Romanian Women Who Changed the World" exhibition will be opened on Thursday, November 7, at the Tara Crisurilor Museum (MTC) in Oradea, marking the 157th anniversary of the birth of Marie Sklodowska-Curie (November 7, 1867), the museum announces in a press release.
According to the quoted source, the exhibition was created on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining its independence and to commemorate the Year of Women's Rights. It is organised in Oradea by the Polish Institute in Bucharest in partnership with the Greater Poland Voivodeship and the host museum.
Among the women whose histories are presented are figures who stood out for their strong personalities in various areas.
From Poland, personalities such as Marie Sklodowska-Curie, Irena Sendlerowa, Helena Rubinstein, and Wanda Rutkiewicz are honoured. Special mention is given to Marie Sklodowska-Curie, a Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry and physics, who had a significant impact on the development of science, as well as to Irena Sendlerowa, who saved Jewish children during World War II, risking her own life in the process.
The list of Romanian women featured in the exhibition includes names such as Elisabeta Rizea - a symbol of the fight for freedom and independence, Viorica Agarici, Virginia Maria Andreescu-Haret - a pioneer in architecture, doctor Ana Aslan, writer Smaranda Gheorghiu, Smaranda Braescu - one of the most famous Romanian parachutists, Nadia Comaneci, and Lucia Sturdza Bulandra.
"These heroines, both Romanian and Polish, continue to impress with their achievements. Each story in the exhibition emphasises how important passion, determination, and belief in justice are, even in the face of oppression and injustice," the release reads.
The exhibition also includes animations created by Polish studio Dinksy, which offer a unique visual perspective on the stories of these remarkable women.
The opening will take place at 12:00 at the Tara Crisurilor Museum.
At the event, delivering speeches will be Katarzyna Zalaszewska, cultural projects coordinator at the Polish Institute in Bucharest, and MTC manager, Prof. Dr. Gabriel Moisa.
The exhibition will be open to the public until December 8, with free admission.
