The purpose of the paper is to show the designer’s perspective on the story and a broader context of the creation of a monograph exhibition dedicated to the oeuvre of Stanisław Wyspiański at the National Museum in Cracow. Composed of two parts: ‘Wyspiański’ and ‘Wyspiański. Unknown’, the Exhibition held between 28 November 2017 and 5 May 2019 was the largest to-date presentation of the works of the versatile artist, while from the point of view of its arrangement, it served as an attempt at finding adequate contemporary expression means to show the multiple and varied character of his oeuvre. A wide range of inspirations are presented: beginning with carefully selected motifs derived from Wyspiański’s art, up to indirect echoing of the activity of some selected artists, mainly affiliated with minimal art. That temporary implementation is thus not analyzed merely in the local context, but also a broader, global one, taking into account carefully selected pieces of world art and architecture, while the paper itself can be regarded as a completion and perpetuation of the no longer existing Exhibition.
