The large-scale exhibition "Warsaw in the kaiserpanorama PERSONALIZED - CITY, WAR, LOVE / Tadeusz Bukowski's Warsaw photographs 1935-1955" will soon come to an end. On October 6, 2022 (Thursday), at 6 p.m., at Platán Galéria (1061 Budapest, Andrássy út 32), interested parties can gain an insight into the operation of the Kaiserpanorama through an exclusive guided tour.

The creator of the photos is Tadeusz Bukowski. The photo exhibition about Warsaw presented the Warsaw Uprising Museum's new photo collection of more than 1,800 frames. The artistic heritage of the photojournalist includes not only the images taken during the uprising. The pictures document the changes taking place in the capital between 1935 and 1955 in a unique way. The author returns again and again to the same places, which change completely during this twenty-year period, and creates expressive portraits of the capital's inhabitants, including his favorite subject, the child.

Tadeusz Bukowski "Bończa" (1909–1980) was a photojournalist, scout instructor, teacher and photographer at the Information and Propaganda Office of the Home Army Command. He was born in Warsaw, where he graduated from a teacher's seminary, and from 1928 he taught in elementary schools. He was a member of the Polish Photographic Society and the head of the photography department of the Polish Scout Association. During the occupation, he organized underground scouting. After the war, he worked as a photographer and took an active role in society - during the difficult period of Stalinism, he co-founded the Association of Polish Photographers. In memory of the Warsaw Uprising, at the initiative of his friends, he organized an exhibition of his photographs taken during the uprising in 1979, which traveled around Poland in the form of a traveling exhibition.
