The blog is a place to talk to you about CoCA’s Toruń collection. We want it to be a place where we bring our readers closer to items which can not always be viewed, but which deserve special attention for their artistic value or for other reasons. Some posts will provide information about where the collection is currently being exhibited, how it is transported, how it is stored, and even how some of the works are restored.

The Institution is funded from the budget of Toruń Municipality
