The exhibition shows the works of fifty Polish cartoonists. Most of them are contemporary creators, but there are also precursors of 19th century comics and artists who worked before the Second World War and during the communist era.

If we were to point out one trend that unites Polish authors and distinguishes them from European comics, it would be the tendency toward artistic comics. Contemporary Polish comics are developed primarily as an art form, not as commercial entertainment. We hope that this exhibition will allow the visitors to better understand and explore the world of Polish comics and its creators.
