Professor Urbańczyk’s Room, the Urbańczyk House

The presentation of an early 20th-century interior, arranged in the room with original wooden coffered ceiling, invokes the figure of the building’s owner, professor Tadeusz Urbańczyk, whose portrait is displayed in the room. The exhibition consists of antique furniture, including a Neo-Rococo set comprising a sofa, two armchairs, and four chairs. A collection of 19th-century glassware is displayed inside a cabinet. It mostly comprises cylindrical or slightly truncated cone-shaped glasses, made from sapphire, ruby, and milk-coloured glass, sometimes accompanied by a decanter. Glassware with patriotic themes, popular in 19th-century Poland, is represented by a flat travel glass with a depiction of an eagle as well as symbols of hope and belief in God and victory, and a chalice with a colourful enamelled coat of arms of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Examples of burgher-type glassware: large pink vase made of cut layered glass and decorated with a bouquet pattern on a white background, a turquoise fruit bowl, and a gilded ruby-coloured stem cup for strawberry preserves with a faceted cut.
