The White Room, Zakopane Style Museum

The white room, which served as the drawing-room in a Goral cottage, houses Maria and Bronisław Bembowski’s collection, which took shape in 1886–1893 and was donated to the Tatra Museum in 1922. The collection comprises nearly four hundred items distinctive for their decorative forms and rich ornamentation: glass paintings, ceramics, spoon-hanging shelves (‘łyżniki’), sculptures, clothing, shepherding tools. The collection was a direct source of inspiration for the Zakopane-style applied arts designs by Stanisław Witkiewicz. The first spoon-hanging shelf of the collection was found by Maria and Bronisław Dembowski in 1886 in a Goral cottage in Furmanowa.
