On September 22, 2016, the Skansen Hotel at the open-air Museum of the Mazovian Countryside in Sierpc (Muzeum Wsi Mazowieckiej w Sierpcu) hosted the 10th grand gala of the "Willow: Mazovian Museum Events" („Mazowieckie Zdarzenia Muzealne – Wierzba”).
The Casimir Pulaski Muzeum was awarded the first prize in the "Best Exhibition of 2015 (small museums)" category for its exhibition "Warka – a place touched by history."
The competition has been organized for ten years by the Mazovian Province Marshal's Office in cooperation with the Mazovian Branch of the Polish Museum Staffer Association (Stowarzyszenie Muzealnikow Polskich). The jubilee edition included 91 museum projects from the entire province, and the jury comprised of museum specialists and authority figures. Five categories were considered: the best exhibition (involving big and small museums respectively), educational project, open project, and museum publication.
Mazovian Province Marshal Adam Struzik handed the Willow statuette to Museum Director Iwona Stefaniak and Museum staffers, accompanied by Warka Deputy Mayor Teresa Knyzio, representing the local government who was the exhibition's biggest sponsor as well as exhibition designers and producers.
The jubilee gala speakers reminded the audience about the history of the competition and persons involved in its organization. The jury, who has volunteered their time to judge the competition for the last ten years, received special certificates of achievement. Among them was Museum Director Iwona Stefaniak, who was a juror from 2013 to 2015.
The list of guest speakers included Mazovian Province Marshal Adam Struzik; The National Institute for Museums and Public Collections (Narodowy Instytut Muzealnictwa i Ochrony Zbiorow) Director Prof. Piotr Majewski; and Head of the Mazovian Branch of the Polish Museum Staffer Association (Stowarzyszenie Muzealnikow Polskich) Halina Czubaszek.
To commemorate this joyous anniversary, the competition organizers prepared an album, which was distributed among all museums. The grand gala ended with a concert by Singin' Birds.
We would like to thank the Mazovian Province Marshal's Office, the Mazovian Branch of the Polish Museum Staffer Association, and the jury for the honor of being among the awarded institutions, high marks, and time and effort put into organizing the competition. Furthermore, we would like to thank the Culture, Promotion and Tourism Department at the Mazovian Province Marshal's Office for facilitating the competition and organizing the grand gala.
Our exhibition "Warka – a place touched by history" is a grand success of not only our museum staff, but also a great number of individuals who worked on making the exhibition happen. Among them are exhibition designers: Ewa Swider-Grobelna and her staff as well as exhibition producers.
We thank Warka town and municipality authorities for their financial contributions. Many donors financed the exhibition. We thank the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage for their targeted subsidy, and the Grojec district authorities and our sponsors Warka Brewery – Grupa Zywiec SA, Prima Sp. z o.o., and Warwin SA for their contributions.
