Jewish Historical Institute, Warsaw. In an email from the Jewish Historical Institute in October 2000, we were told, "Museum JHI has got 52 works by Rynecki - there are 44 watercolour paintings and 8 black and white works."

National Museum in Krakow states in their catalog that they displayed 22 Moshe Rynecki paintings in their exhibit. It is unclear if they own any paintings by Moshe Rynecki.

Please Note: Some of these museums actively display Moshe Rynecki's works. Sometimes these museums have Moshe Rynecki works but they are not currently exhibiting any of his paintings. If you intend to visit these museums, and wish to view their Moshe Rynecki paintings, please contact the museum sometime ahead of your planned visit date to discuss the possibility of scheduling a private viewing.

The Following is a Listing of Known Exhibitions

15 April - 7 May 2003

Works by Jewish artists in Warsaw ~ "Paintings, drawings and graphics by Polish artists of Jewish origin can be seen, starting from April 15 (until May 7), at an exhibition entitled "Our older brethren" in the Gallery of the Jewish Historical Insititute in Warsaw. All the works presented come from the collection of the Institute. "We want to show the public the world which no longer exists. But what interests us is not the Holocaust, but the life of the Jews in our country before 1939," said Renata Piatkowska, a representative of the Jewish Historical Institute. In the paintings and drawings their authors depicted scenes relating to the daily life and customs of the Jewish community in Poland. The exhibition contains works by authors from the second half of the 19th century and from the 20th century, such as Mojzesz Maurycy Rynecki [our emphasis], Otto Axes and Wilhelm Wachtel. An important element of the exhibition is a part of the so-called Gallery of the Rabbis, which includes 18 of the 90 portraits of Jews made with a fountain pen. The drawings show important and well-known figures of the Jewish community: Rabbis, intellecturls and social activists. At the beginning of this year, the exhibition was shown in Poznan, in the context of the Seventh Session of Dialogue between Christians and Jews."
