Painted Wooden Egg

Made in the late 20th century

 

Given by Mr and Mrs Mokrzycki in 2000

 

This is one of just a small number of objects we have in the collection representing the local Polish community. Jan and Magdelena Mokrzycki came to England after being displaced due to the Nazi and Soviet invasions of Poland. They met and married in London before settling in Kenilworth. Both were active members of the Leamington Polish community. 

We are actively making connections with the Polish community and would like to add more to the collection. Please speak to a member of staff if you have something you would like to donate to us.
