Some 30 neons that once lit the streets of western Poland’s biggest city can be seen alongside photographs showing them in their original setting.

The exhibition charts the history of the neons in Poznań from its beginnings in 1880s when Franciszek Biskupski created an ad for Elektrotechnik Fund until the late Communist era.
