A model of old Poznań shows the city the way it was presented in the drawing by Braun-Hogenberg from 1618. It was made by Krzysztof Przybyła, with the historical consultation of Prof. Jacek Wiesiołowski. The construction of the model took 6 years and was preceded by detailed studies into the history of old Poznań, its iconography and modern reconstructions. The model covers the area of over 50 square metres and consists of over 2 000 elements made of paper, modelling clay, sand and substances used in modern modelling. It is accompanied by a recorded half-hour commentary which tells about the old Poznań, the life of its inhabitants and the ways the city has changed over the ages. The model can be visited daily in the vaults of the Franciscan Convent on Wzgórze Przemysława (Przemysław Hill, entrance from Ludgardy Street).
