In the film world of motoring

The Automotive and Technology Museum in Otrębusy will take us into the world of car and film journeys. Once there, you will be able to sit on a comfortable sofa from Packard, which appeared in such productions as: „The Career of Nikodem Dyzma”, „Bodo” and „Time of Honor”. Take a photo with the Horch car, which moviegoers had the opportunity to see in the film „Katyń” by Andrzej Wajda, and take a look inside the Californian Oakland from the series „1920. „War and Love”. It will be a real treat to be able to drive these vintage cars around the immediate area.

The spell of memories

At 4:00 p.m. we invite you to a meeting devoted to „Mazowsze’s” foreign travels. We will check which continents the band has performed on and which countries it has visited during over 70 years of its activity. We will talk about the most interesting concert tours, the longest and shortest, the closest and the farthest, the most difficult and the most exotic. We will start with memories from trips in the 1950s, non-European tours, including China, Japan, Australia and Argentina, and end with a discussion of the latter – to Irkutsk, Luxembourg and Iceland.
