In November 2014 project ‘Redevelopment of the monumental facility of the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice’ entered a new stage. Currently intensive works are underway inside the Bolesław Szabelski Auditorium. The original polychromies which remained hidden under a layer of plaster for several dozens of years are being gradually uncovered. It will take months to uncover all the wall and ceiling paintings. Detailed conservation works are required in order to restore the former shine to the beautiful colourful polychromies. The completion of these works has been scheduled for October 2015.
