The aim of the exhibition is to show the
connections between the world of nature and art. The presented photographs of
insects, both from Poland and from around the world, give us an opportunity to
fully appreciate the unusual creations of nature. The colours, forms and shapes
of nature became a source of inspiration for artists and architects. There are
two approaches to the exhibition. One aspect is simply taking the aesthetic
pleasure from admiring these astonishing photographs. Reading the extended
descriptions, on the other hand, will broaden your knowledge of the beautiful
creatures presented and of the artistic contexts in which they may appear.
These interdisciplinary texts were prepared jointly by a biologist and an art
historian.
