PHYSICAL PROGRAMME
 

The exhibition commemorates the restoration of Poland’s independence and sovereignty in 1918 as the Second Polish Republic. Following the partition of Poland by the Prussian, Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires in the late 18th century, Poland ceased to exist as an independent, united entity for 123 years until the end of World War I. Polish military interventions and the fall of the erstwhile empires allowed the divided country to reunite and re-emerge as an independent state.
