October Cycling Critical Mass in Torun
In October 26, 2024, the Rowerowy Toruń Association is organizing the Cycling Critical Mass under the slogan "Cyclists - be visible!" We invite you to participate in this event.
The Masa route will be approximately 16 kilometres long. We will start at the New Town Square at 5:00 p.m. Participants will ride along Słowackiego, Fałata, Sobieskiego and Pająkowskiego streets.
The main slogan of the October Mass is a reminder of the obligation to properly light a bicycle after dark. Proper lighting of the vehicle increases our visibility on the road and shows that we are conscious users of traffic. In autumn and winter, it gets dark earlier, so it is even more important to remember to have lights on the front and back of the bicycle.

Toruń at half price this weekend
This weekend, prices in Toruń will drop by half - the "Toruń at half price" discount campaign is planned for October 25-27, 2024.
For three days we can count on discounts at 200 points, including restaurants, cafés, shops, cultural institutions and service points.
The autumn edition of "Toruń for half the price" will be one of the record-breaking in terms of the number of companies and institutions that will take part in it. The places that will take part in the campaign will be marked with special posters, so that tourists and residents of Toruń have no doubts about which premises and institutions the discount applies to. The ambassador of this edition of the campaign is the Toruń Olympian, European boxing vice-champion - Aneta Rygielska. The sportswoman encourages people to take advantage of the promotion and visit Toruń via her social media. Posters informing about the campaign are already on advertising pillars throughout the city. They include, among other things, a QR code. The code, when scanned with a mobile phone, takes the user to a website with offers from Toruń companies.
The lists of participants in the campaign with the offer have been published, among others, on the campaign website www.torunzapolceny.pl in the "offer" tab and on Facebook and Instagram. There are also competitions, during which you can win, among other things, free invitations to restaurants, vouchers to service points, but also invitations to take advantage of the opportunity to test drive a car from one of Toruń's car dealers during the weekend. The campaign is also widely promoted outside our city limits through the RMF FM group radio stations. The event is aimed not only at Toruń residents, but also at visitors. It is no coincidence that it takes place twice a year - in spring before the start of the tourist season and in autumn - at its end. The discounts are to tempt residents of other cities to spend a few days with us.
At the Tourist Information Centre in Toruń on ul. Szeroka, a special information point will be open throughout the weekend, where Toruń residents and tourists will be able to check where discounts are available as part of the "Toruń at half price" campaign. Companies and institutions participating in the event will reduce prices by half on at least three of their basic products or services. Traditionally, Toruń restaurateurs and numerous service points have joined the campaign. Toruń's cultural institutions have an equally rich offer. There will be an opportunity to participate in many different events, such as concerts of the Toruń Symphony Orchestra, events at CKK Jordanki and Toruń museums. It is also worth visiting, among others, the District Museum or the Mill of Knowledge. The organizers of the campaign are the Municipality of Toruń and the GoSport Association!
Ceramics Museum awarded in the Competition for the Museum Event of the Year of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship 2023
Among the winners was also the Ceramics Museum, which received the first prize in the category “Educational projects not related to temporary exhibitions” for the project “Centre for old pottery techniques – new, attractive and friendly ceramic education”.
We are very pleased that the competition jury appreciated our many years of efforts to create an innovative place associated with experiencing ceramics. The Centre for Old Pottery Techniques, located at ul. Kutuzowa 14, was established as part of the cross-border project "Centers of old crafts on the Via Fabrilis trail". This is a unique place that combines the function of a museum and a ceramic workshop, because the building houses a miniature production line, thanks to which visitors can learn the secrets of the process of creating Bolesławiec ceramics, as well as take part in various ceramic workshops. There is also an exhibition space presenting the contemporary achievements of local ceramic plants, a children's room and multimedia. The Centre for Old Pottery Techniques is also a place for intergenerational meetings and training of future ceramicists. In the courtyard of the building, an authentic, fully accessible to visitors, 19th century ceramic kiln and a replica of the Great Pot from the 18th century were placed, making the facility unique in the region. It is also an important point on the map of the Lower Silesian Route of Technical Monuments.
In the category that was the winning one for the Bolesławiec museum, an additional award was also given to the Racławice Panorama – a branch of the National Museum in Wrocław for the “Art in a flash” project and educational activities at the Racławice Panorama Museum. In this year's edition of the Competition for the Museum Event of the Year of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship 2023, awards were also given in other categories, such as “Historical exhibitions”, “Art exhibitions” and “Research projects”.
We would like to express our gratitude to our partners in the project “Centers of Old Crafts on the Via Fabrilis Trail”, the Municipality of Kłodzko, the Municipality of Jaromer and the City of Bolesławiec, without whom the creation of the CDTG would not have been possible. We would like to thank the Chapter and the Organizers of the Competition for the opportunity to present the effect of our work and appreciate it in a way that exceeded our wildest expectations. We are very happy with our success, especially since we found ourselves in the distinguished group of winners of the Competition, who for years have been shaping the image of not only Lower Silesian museums. In this year's edition, in addition to the Bolesławiec museum, the following were awarded: the Ethnographic Museum - Branch of the MNWr in Wrocław, the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław, the Regional Museum in Lubań, the Museum of Contemporary Art - Branch of the MNWr in Wrocław, the Museum of the Kłodzko Region, the Wrocław Contemporary Museum, the Copper Museum in Legnica, the Wrocław City Museum, the Karkonoskie Museum in Jelenia Góra, the Racławice Panorama - Branch of the MNWr in Wrocław, the Museum of Papermaking in Duszniki-Zdrój and the National Museum in Wrocław.
Congratulations to all the winners! And on behalf of ourselves and all Lower Silesian museums, we cordially invite you to our hospitable thresholds!
