The Quarterly Exhibit is a series of articles published by the Jagiellonian University Museum to present its collection. Each article is meant to share knowledge about the exhibits which usually are not shown to the public. This month's feature is the sceptre of Cardinal Bernard Maciejowski (died in 1608). The history of the object is explained by Beata Fronczek from the Department of Museum Collection.

The Gothic edifice of Collegium Maius, the oldest building of the Jagiellonian University, used to house the Faculty of Law and Faculty of Liberal Arts. The rooms inside Collegium Maius served various roles. Two small rooms in the first floor were used as the treasury where the most valuable documents, books, and valuables were kept safe.

The Cracow Academic Trail exhibition presented in the Collegium Maius cellar talks about certain themes discussed within a research project of the same name, but its main goal is to highlight the university’s heritage. The photographs made by Tomasz Niziołek have captured academic collections (including details usually not shown to the public), the historical architecture, but also the present, underlining both the continuity and the fluidity of the university life.

The Jagiellonian University Museum is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its opening to the public. We invite everyone to visit our Museum on 6 May 2024 and join the Open Day event. Open the article to read the full event programme.
