The exhibition marks the 100th anniversary of Narutowicz's election as the first president of newly independent Poland.
The show documents Narutowicz’s research career, starting with his studies at the Faculty of Mathematics at the Zurich Polytechnic, followed by his professorship of hydroelectric engineering and his projects for hydroelectric power stations in Switzerland, Spain, France and Italy.
Also on display are photographs and photocopies of documents about Narutowicz’s political career, which came to a tragic end.
He was assassinated by oppositionist Eligiusz Niewiadomski during a visit to the Zachęta Art Gallery in Warsaw on December 16, 1922, after just five days in office.
The exhibition includes photos of Narutowicz’s funeral, which was attended by almost half a million people.
