Gathered since 1961, the amber collection currently numbers close to 2,000 exhibits, among which are specimens of natural amber, artistic items from the Neolithic to the interwar period, and selected objects showcasing contemporary Polish and international amber art. It is renowned for its unique amber masterpieces \u2013 among the most valuable are, inter alia, a casket and reliquary by Michel Redlin and a casket by Christoph Maucher, as well as later ones: a casket traditionally associated with King Stanis\u0142aw Leszczy\u0144ski and the cabinet of Stanis\u0142aw August Poniatowski. Also worthy of note are contemporary works of amber art, the vast majority of which were created in the studios of well-known Polish and foreign artists and designers, inter alia,. Jaros\u0142aw Westermark<\/a>, Paulina Binek<\/a>, S\u0142awomir Fija\u0142kowski, Manuel Vilhena and Fabrizio Tridenti. Recently, the Malbork collection has been enriched with an exceptional 17th-century amber altar in the form of a crucifix in its original case, which was made in a Gda\u0144sk workshop.<\/p>\n

Amber inspirations of young fashion designers<\/strong><\/p>\n

An unusual pretext for recalling the magnificence of the amber collection at the Malbork Castle Museum was an amber-themed fashion show entitled \u201eAmber: A Phenomenon of Nature and Culture\u201d. The Grand Refectory of the Malbork castle, where in the Middle Ages the Grand Masters hosted their guests at lavish banquets, filled with amber enthusiasts \u2013 something easily recognised by their jewellery creations featuring amber as the main element. The event opened with a presentation of works by the winners of the Jagoda Komorowska \u201eBlack on White\u201d National Fashion Competition for young designers. It was organised for the second time by the Jacek Mydlarski Fine Arts High School in Gda\u0144sk and the Admiral J\u00f3zef Unrug General Secondary School of Individual Programmes in Gda\u0144sk. For this edition, the leading theme was \u201eThe Magic of Amber in Fashion\u201d, and amber inspirations could be found not only in the fabric colours or decorative elements.<\/p>\n

Modern amber jewellery <\/strong><\/p>\n

Amber is commonly associated with jewellery, so it could not be missing from this show either. Its contemporary design was presented at its best by leading Polish jewellery designers Aleksander Gliwi\u0144ski and Ireneusz Glaza. Timeless design and spectacular spatial forms of jewellery perfectly matched Magdalena Ar\u0142ukiewicz\u2019s clothing collection, based on classical patterns and the idea of deconstruction. The subtlety of the timeless jewellery by Ireneusz Glaza, who finds his inspiration in nature, was emphasised by a collection of feminine dresses by Barbara Piekut.<\/p>\n
