Poland in Sweden

We cordially invite you to see the open-air exhibition "Outstanding Polish Women", which was opened on March 24, 2021 by Ambassador Joanna Hofman. The exhibition consists of 11 boards describing the life and outstanding achievements of the most outstanding Polish women, from Maria Skłodowska Curie to our newest Nobel laureate, Olga Tokarczuk.

The exhibition was opened on the National Day of Remembrance of Poles Saving Jews under German occupation (which is a Polish public holiday), commemorating the achievements of one of the exhibition characters - Irena Sandler - a heroine who saved Jewish children from the ghetto. This holiday was established on the initiative of the President of the Republic of Poland in 2017. It is celebrated on March 24 - on the anniversary of the death of the eight-person Ulma family from Markowa, shot by German gendarmes.

The exhibition is open to the public and can be viewed every day at 35 Karlavägen Street in Stockholm, on the fence of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland, throughout its exhibition.
