Easter eggs: ‘pisanka’, ‘kraszanka’, ‘drapanka’, ‘wyklejanka’. They used to be carefully prepared as gifts: for a dance in the Carnival, for being splashed with water, for good wishes and to express love. Why an egg? Under the fragile shell, hides the living potential and a promise. For ages, they have been considered food appropriate for the living and for the dead: it was supposed to stimulate fertility in the former and offer hope for a return to the latter. Patterns and inscriptions on Easter eggs tell the story of the spring equinox. The sun conquers darkness. Christ conquers death. The variety of art forms and decorating methods hides the information about the place with which the authors identified and about the time when they worked. Here are more than three hundred Easter eggs. The museum’s storage facilities contain over 8,000 more of them.
