We invite you to take a journey through the beauty of both the past and present of a country located in one of the most colourful corners of the world. The exhibition, prepared by the Jacek Malczewski Museum in Radom, will appeal to every visitor with its creative richness and artistic quality. On display are panels featuring photographs by Robert Słaboński.The photographer documented conservation efforts focused on the unique murals from Chajul, in the mountainous region of Guatemala. The photographs also capture the everyday life of the Ixil Maya people living in this area. Adding to the exhibition are selected Guatemalan artefacts, which complement the visual narrative.
