The exhibition was prepared by the staff of the branch of the Institute of National Remembrance in Rzeszów and is a kind of journey through more and less familiar symbols. A special place was devoted to the symbolism of statehood – the emblem, flag, colours, anthem and signs associated with them. At the exhibition present were also signs that have become symbols of their times - emblems, logos, badges, and even items.

The exhibition will be accompanied by educational workshops for students of schools run by the Polish diaspora, which will be conducted by Maciej Rędziniak, co-author of the exhibition. They will be held in several groups, from 9.30- 5.00 – on 6 November in the Polish School of St. Maximilian Kolbe (5841 W. Strong St., Chicago, IL 60630), and on 7 November in the Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center (220 S. Michigan Ave. in Chicago).
