Małopolska Days of Cultural Heritage

The Institute runs numerous annual programs, such as the Małopolska Region Days in Brussels[3][4] and the Małopolska Days of Cultural Heritage, an event meant to promote the cultural diversity of Malopolska.[5][6] Each May, for two weekends the Institute organises a series of curated visits to ten cultural sites of special interest where educational activities and sightseeing take place. The selected heritage sites (churches, palaces, factories, private buildings)[6] are little known or normally out of bounds to the public (due to private ownership or other considerations)[7]
