Summary/Abstract: The Museum holds a number of paintings and drawings by Stanislaw Wyspianski. As well as that, there are two interesting functional objects complementing the collection: a quill pen used by the poet to write ‘November Night’ finished in 1904, secured with great care by Tadeusz Estreicher, and a case made by Wyspianski. The pen used by the poet is of sentimental value only, although the case, which he made for his wife, has kept its practical value, and proves the artist’s interest in the craftwork.
