COLLECTING IS A MATTER OF (P)REVIEW
• Until the end of March 2025, we recommend visiting the exhibition COLLECTING IS A MATTER OF (P)REVIEW
Old maps and vedute from the collection of Manfred Spata The exhibition prepared by the Haus Schlesien Museum in Königswinter near Bonn presents a collection of maps and vedute from the collection of Manfred Spata. The exhibition is also about collecting itself. Manfred Spata – a surveyor by profession – was born in 1944 in Kłodzko. The collector is not connected to the city by childhood memories, but despite this, he feels connected to Kłodzko - the native region of his ancestors, as evidenced by frequent visits to the Kłodzko region and many years of exploring and popularizing knowledge about its history and culture. For many years he collected historical maps and views of his hometown and the entire Silesia, as well as specialist literature necessary for their development. His extensive knowledge of the Kłodzko region resulted in numerous publications in the field of history, geography and cartography. The exhibition mainly presents old maps of Silesia and its individual regions, city plans and special maps, as well as views of Silesian cities and landscapes, with particular emphasis on the Kłodzko region. The exhibition allows the viewer to familiarize themselves with the history of Silesia, the development of cartography, printing techniques and changing tastes over the course of over 400 years.
