One of the themes of the exhibition is the Divine Mercy devotion. The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy has loaned 4 artifacts for this exhibition:

The exhibition was organized by the National Museum in Krakow and the National Museum of Vilnius, with honorary patronage assumed by Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland. The exhibition will be open until September 3, 2023 in Krakow, when it will move to Vilnius.
