in defense of Muzeum Sztuki Książki
My city Łódź . I was born here . The city of my education and my work . I devoted 50 years to teaching, and the medal I received for activities for the development of Łódź
on the occasion of its 600th anniversary obliges me to write the following words.
The history of this city is marked by the realization of difficult, yet possible ideas. Łódź rises with every green tree, every tenement house revived with resurrected beauty, every idea of a reborn avant-garde. We have wonderful museums and collections. We have the chance to have yet another uniqueness on a national scale and beyond. The Book Art Museum in Łódź at ul . Tymienieckiego 24 is, for 33 years, a living center of book art. This museum is created not only by a collection of unique exhibits of book art, but above all by the machinery park assembled and brought to life by Janusz Paweł Tryzna, which still operates today. It is the living memory of the book and printing. Despite difficult conditions, thanks to the enthusiasm of the people active in the Museum's space, everything there is still saturated with the energy of activity that has settled there and brings results. Let us protect what is good and exceptional.
