Hasior Museum in Zakopane
Gallery devoted to Hasior's work has existed since 1984 and is situated in the interior of the ‘deck-chair rental’ by the ‘Warszawianka’ Hotel, a building that was built prior to World War II when Zakopane was an antituberculosis resort and bed rest in the open air was a common form of treatment.[1]
Officially, Hasior’s Gallery is a branch of the Tatra Museum, which the artist enriched with a "dowry" of around one hundred of his works. They constituted the bases for the permanent exhibition made available to the visitors on the ground floor of the building. This is the exhibition which the host of gallery continuously developed and altered, building some kind of a total work, a unique installation of his own exhibits, he created a magical space imbued with music, light, and turned unreal with reflection of huge mirrors.[1]
