This smash hit of an exhibition has attracted as many as 40 thousand visitors since May. The National Museum has seen people who almost never visit this eminent institution and yet are passionate about fashion and design. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has set the example of how to exhibit fashion and clothes as artworks in their own right. Similarly, American museums draw large numbers of people who want to see haute couture or pop art styles.

Until recently, Tadeusz Ciałowicz was remembered by his neon designs, adverts and posters, but the exhibition at the Architecture Museum (700 visitors in one week) and, more importantly, a recently published monograph have made such a dazzling effect that a lot of young people are now rediscovering their passion for the art of Communist Poland.
