Directors and staff of cultural institutions from the Małopolska Voivodeship, as well as Polish, Slovak, and Czech museums, were with us that day. We accepted congratulations, gifts, and best wishes.

The Gold Medal for Merit to Culture, Gloria Artis, was awarded to Maria Brylak-Załuska, the Silver Medal for Merit to Culture, Gloria Artis, was awarded to Zbigniew Wolanin, and the Bronze Medal for Merit to Culture, Gloria Artis, was awarded to Joanna Hołda.

The ceremony featured performances by the regional ensembles Dolina Popradu and Kowalnia.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to organizing the anniversary meeting at the open-air museum. We also extend our appreciation and gratitude to those who prepared the ethnographic displays and refreshments for the guests attending the "Traces. Awareness - Memory - Interpretation" event. We extend especially warm words to Teresa Mirga and her band and Julia Doszna and her band for their fantastic concerts at the church in Czarne.
