In our everyday life, not only do we seek a sense of security, but also a sense of belonging, which enables us to understand both our own selves and the surrounding reality of ‘here and now’. This is possible if we reach to the past, which surrounds us everywhere. It manifests itself not only through material objects, but also through stories, memories, everyday life routines, and rituals related to special events.

Sight follows the line of the one-storey architecture of the town square, whose origins date back to the middle ages. In the town square, there is a figure of St. Szymon, an important patron saint closely related with the tradition and culture of this place.

It reaches the church of St. Leonard, where it voraciously absorbs magnificent paintings, works of travelling painters and the reflections of human thoughts, feelings and ideas about the world.
