| Sumario: | Having fought a long and tough battle
against COVID-19, on 11 April 2021, Mirosław Nowak PhD,
a theologian, art historian, museum curator, Archdiocese
Conservator, and the Director of the Warsaw Archdiocese
Museum, passed away. In 1982–1987, Fr. Mirosław studied art
history at the History Department of the University of Warsaw,
at the same time studying philosophy and theology at the
Higher Metropolitan Seminary in Warsaw. Having taken holy
orders in 1990, throughout his life he was able to successfully
harmonize his ministry with the profession of an art historian.
With his research focused on Baroque art, in 2006, he defended
his doctoral dissertation on the Chapel of Blessed Ceslaus in
the Wrocław church of the Dominicans. Fr. Mirosław Nowak
performed many Diocese-wide functions, with 2013 being for
him breakthrough: it was then that he became Director of the
Warsaw Archdiocese Museum. Under him, the Museum was
moved to a new extensive home in the centre of Warsaw’s
Old Town; he mounted a permanent exhibition, and created
an energetic cultural centre of high impact. At the Museum,
he organized lectures, shows, authors’ presentations, concerts,
and conferences. Fr. Nowak established contacts with other
museums in Poland and abroad; he organized around 40
temporary exhibitions, among which the biggest and most
interesting was that dedicated to the Silesian master of the
Baroque Michael Willmann, The Warsaw Archdiocese Museum
will painfully miss a good human and an excellent director.
