Drop in to Huta!
Friday, September 20, 2019 - Sunday, September 22, 2019
For the last 11 years, the Museum of Krakow and its associated institutions have been encouraging Cracovians and visitors to learn about the history and present day of Nowa Huta. This year, the former social realist city built for workers at the Lenin Steelworks and now a district of Kraków celebrates its 70th anniversary. It’s no wonder, then, that the programmeDrop in to Huta! is looking even more promising than usual! On Sunday, there is a special English-language guided tour Nowa Huta for Beginners prepared especially for visitor from abroad (22 September, 1pm, starting at the Museum of Nowa Huta, 1 Centrum E Housing Estate). In the evening (6pm), join us for an outdoor concert Nowa Huta – City of God (Nowa Huta. Why Not?! cycle), held in the heart of the former workers’ city at Róż Avenue. (dd)
The History of Nowa Huta Quarter
os. Słoneczne 16
Once intended as the ideal workers’ city, today a district of Kraków, it attracts tourists with the architecture of socialist realism, disclosing different sides of the city’s history.
This small branch of the Museum of the History of the City of Kraków in Nowa Huta opened in 2005 to elucidate the history of this district of Kraków, built after the Second World War on the fertile lands of the suburban villages. Originally, Nowa Huta was to be an ideal communist city, independent of Kraków, designed for the workers of the gigantic steelworks named after Vladimir Ilyich Lenin that were being developed in the vicinity at the time. The museum presents regularly modified exhibitions devoted to the history of the area, both in our days and before the construction of the city and the steel mills.
