Magic carpet. Time travels

Magic carpet. Time travels

01.05 - 21.09.2025

What if one day you found in your house a very old magic carpet which could travel in time?

If you are brave enough and like to have fun and solve some puzzles, set out on a magical journey with the protagonists of our exhibition: Franek, Bogusia, mum Alicja, grandpa Rysiu and Spryciarz the dog. You will take part in five incredible adventures: at a carpet-making workshop, in a settlement from the 10th century, among gigantic plants and creatures living on a meadow by the Cybina River, in an old academy full of ingenious inventions and in the dark nooks and crannies of the cathedral.

Each room offers another adventure and another challenge.
Hop on the carpet and explore Cathedral Island from a new perspective!


The exhibition is available in two languages: Polish and English.
Free entry

The exhibition is inspired by a children’s book Magic Carpet. Tales from Cathedral Island.
