Wokulski's watch and Izabela's hat. Costumes and props from "The Doll" will be auctioned

At the free exhibition until October 19, we can see up close some of the costumes and props from "The Doll" directed by Maciej Kawalski. They include, among others: Baron Krzeszowski's coat (played by Borys Szyc), designed by Tomasz Ossoliński and Katarzyna Lewińska, Countess Rzeżuchowska's dress and Ewelina Janocka's creation from Gosia Baczyńska's studio.

Other souvenirs from the film world include Izabela Łęcka's hat and Stanisław Wokulski's top hat and pocket watch. At the exhibition you can also see the astrolabe that stood in the office of the main character of "The Doll", and even the necklace in which he kept the plaque received in Paris from Professor Geist.

The viewer can first see a given item on the big screen, and a moment later have the opportunity to own it. On Western markets, auctions of film memorabilia have been attracting both collectors and a wide range of cinema fans for years. A good example was the "Treasures from Planet Hollywood" auction organized two years ago by Heritage Auctions, which included nearly 1,600 items from productions such as "Titanic" and "Indiana Jones". In turn, in 2016, Christie's organized an auction of 24 objects related to the James Bond film "Spectre" - the sales value exceeded GBP 3 million - says Agata Szkup, President of the Management Board of DESA Unicum.

This shows that although Wokulski and Rzecki's film adventure ends with the subtitles, the history of the objects belonging to them gains a new life - he adds.

On October 19, costumes and props known from the film will be auctioned.
