An exhibition of Bruno Schulz's art, Republic of Dreams can be seen at the Abbots' Palace in Gdańsk. The exposition is the biggest presentation of the output of the artist whose literary work (The Street of Crocodiles, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass) is compared to the work of the greatest writers of the first half of the 20th century and whose fine art works are winning an increasing circle of admirers. The exhibition consists of 100 of Schulz's drawings and prints, his only surviving oil painting Meeting, and murals created to order by Gestapo officer Felix Landau, which were discovered by accident in 2001.

Schulz's works have been divided into several thematic groups. Town depicts a provincial town of the inter-war Galicia region; Mythologizing Reality shows a world subject to various transformations, and Everlasting Fairy Tale reveals a child's imagination. The exhibition also presents the most famous series of prints entitled Idolatrous Book, abounding in eroticism and showing the influence of psychoanalysis on the fine arts of the early 20th century. The remaining subjects presented are entitled Spring and Epilogue.

The exhibition is open through the end of April.
