Wrocław Academic Heritage Trail

The open-air exhibition “Wrocław Academic Heritage Trail” is now open to visitors.

We are pleased to announce that from 12 to 30 May 2025, on Kuźnicza Street in Wrocław (opposite the Museum of Mineralogy of the University of Wrocław), the open-air exhibition “Wrocław Academic Heritage Trail” is on display, prepared especially for this year’s edition of the Night of Museums.

This joint initiative of fifteen Wrocław universities, held under the patronage of the Association of University Museums, aims to showcase the richness of Wrocław’s academic heritage — both scientific and cultural. The exhibition presents, in a modern form, the history and identity of the city’s academic community, while highlighting unique collections and sites associated with university museums.

The graphic design of the exhibition was created by Krzysztof Pachurka, Head of the Art Documentation Centre at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław.
