My i oni. Sztuka starożytna w Muzeum Narodowym w Warszawie / We and Those Before Us. The Ancient Art in The National Museum in Warsaw, academic editor Aleksandra Sulikowska-Bełczowska, graphic design by Adam Glabas, 264 pages, illustrated, Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie / The National Museum in Warsaw, Warszawa / Warsaw 2020, ISBN 978-83-7100-459-9
The volume was released on the occasion of the opening of the Gallery of Ancient Art in a new arrangement in December 2020. The pieces selected are the most interesting and precious objects from the ancient art collection housed at NMW, the use and significance of which in Antiquity is similar as in modern times. These often striking associations permit to capture feelings, behaviours, tastes and beliefs that we, living in modern times, have in common with the people of Antiquity.
