230th Anniversary of the Kościuszko Uprising

230 years ago, on March 24, 1794, Tadeusz Kościuszko solemnly took an oath on the main square of Krakow, thus heralding the onset of a national uprising known as the Kościuszko Uprising. This uprising marked the final attempt to save the Republic of Poland and restore its full sovereignty.

To commemorate this anniversary, the Kościuszko Museum in Solothurn was inaugurated on Sunday, March 24, 2024, opening its collections to visitors. It provided an opportunity to admire the magnificent painting by Wojciech Kossak titled "The Oath on the Market Square in Krakow."
