This is a photo of the Wrocław National Museum. It was established in 1947. It holds one of the largest collections of contemporary art in Poland. There were so many damaged and destroyed buildings after World War II. The new Polish Department of Museums and Heritage Protection was entrusted with finding a new and suitable building for cultural artifacts. The building they found relatively undamaged in the city centre was the former Silesian regency office, which was built in 1886.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
