The 1909 Lviv Church Exhibition in the context of the exhibitions of Polish church art and religious art and the production of liturgical objects at the turn of the 20th century
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Kaliszuk, Magdalena
The Liturgical Industry Exhibition “including building and interior decoration of Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches as well as Isr[aeli] prayer houses”, known also as the Church Exhibition, was one of the first and biggest exhibitions of the Polish liturgical industry. Its organizers, the Industrial Aid League, adopted the formula of national exhibitions, popular in Europe, whose aim was to showcase the cultural, scientific and technological achievements of a given country and region, as well as to encourage local industrialists to fight against foreign competition. The aim of the exhibition was to open up to different cultures and religions. Works of art and consumer goods related to the Latin, Greek-Catholic, Armenian and Judaic religions were presented by over 120 exhibitors, mainly from the Austrian partition. The exhibition was accompanied by a brochure “The Catalogue of the Church Exhibition”, which was sent to the parishes and municipalities of Galicia and on request to interested persons.
