Kronenberg Foundation supports Jagiellonian University Museum's interactive exhibition "The World of the Senses"


Starting on October 4 we can enjoy the Jagiellonian University Museum's exhibition "The World of the Senses" at the Raciborz Museum. This is the next stop of a mobile and interactive exhibition dedicated to the functioning of the human senses. The exhibition was made possible thanks to the support of The Citi Handlowy Leopold Kronenberg Foundation at Citi Handlowy

The aim of the exhibition is to familiarize viewers with the anatomical, physiological, and physical basis of the functioning of our sensory organs. The exhibition is interactive and includes some 60 experiments which help visitors to learn on their own how sight, hearing, smell, and touch work.

This exhibition of the Jagiellonian University Museum enables us to gain knowledge about the human senses in an accessible way. It is interactive, which means that the subject is presented with the help of experiments conducted independently by viewers (in a hands-on manner) - says Krzysztof Kaczmar, President of The Citi Handlowy Leopold Kronenberg Foundation. The interactive exhibition "The World of the Senses" was opened at the Jagiellonian University Museum on September 30, 2005 and was the second interactive exhibition at the JU Museum. Thus far the exhibition has been held in Gdańsk, Uppsala, Dębica, and Sandomierz, and has been visited by over 140,000 people.
