Exhibition „Underground City. 125 years of Warsaw water supply
125 years ago the first inhabitants of Warsaw could drink fresh and filtered water direct from their taps. The modern design based on experience gained in Hamburg and Frankfurt on Main made the Lindleys heroes of the day.
The construction started in 1883 and only three years later the dream came true. On this occasion the Warsaw Municipal Waterworks Ltd. (MPWiK) have planned two majour events: a special edition of a new photo-album and a photo exposition under the same title.
The presentation of the album took place on 31 May, in the mid of the day, on a beautiful location of Warsaw treasure premises – Old Orangerie in Łazienki Park.
On the same day the photo exhibition was opened for the general public. Set on beautifully renovated drawings as well as old photographs from MPWiK collection are to be admired from 1 June in the so called Open-air Łazienki Gallery along Aleje Ujazdowskie avenue.
The month of December marks the 100th anniversary of the death of William Heerlein Lindley. We will celebrate it together with the inhabitants of Ochota, the district most connected with the creators of our sewerage and waterworks system as well as the plan of our city.
On December 6 we will be hosted by the Library "Under the Wings"
located at ul. Grójecka No. 109 (corner of Dickens street). The most convenient
connection - tram no. 9.
