The Muzeum Stanislwa in Gydnia, Poland opened in 2025 and is dedicated to promoting the life and work of Szukalski. Stanislaw Szukalski (1893-1987) was a Polish sculptor and painter who became a part of the Chicago Renaissance. Szukalski's art is influenced by ancient cultures, Egypt, Slavs, and Aztecs combined with elements of art nouveau and other currents of early 20th century European modernism. During the 1920s, he was hailed as Poland's "greatest living artist".
