This year’s birthday concert was a tribute to John Paul II – a man full of passion and joy of life, who never abandoned his interests, but used them to spread the good and transmit universal values. The Pope from Wadowice loved mountains and mountaineers since he was a child, so his words: “From the family I am a man of mountain” became the slogan of this year’s birthday concert.

The birthday concert is a part of a series of events organized by the Museum, in preparation for the solemn celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Paul II in 2020.
