Hi,
Today we started an open exhibition of WLM pictures on Central Railways Station in Warsaw. Polish Railways have several spots in Poland where the art can be shown for free for public. We managed to put WLM pictures there for 2 weeks. The pictures are placed on stands in B1 poster size in main hall of the station. Each picture has some description + QR-code pointing to the relevant article in Wikipedia.
After 2 weeks the exhibition will be moved to Gdynia and the to Wrocław main railways stations...
The funny thing is that this is 100% free for us.

That's great to hear! Thank you, and well done.

Wow, thanks for the info Tomasz! I'm also cross posting the cultural partners list.
I have seen some more successful exhibitions, and learned recently how complicated it is to organize one - even though it sounds so simple. Would it be an idea to collect some of the lessons learned and tips on http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Exhibition ?
Thanks!

Nice, we also want photos!

100 % as in not only they provided the space but also the provided the equipment and printed and installed the posters?

Nemo,
Space is for free. The cost of printing 24 posters (solvent ink, 135 g/m² paper, 85 x 100 cm format (a bit bigger than B1)) was about 215 Euro gross.
This is fascinating! How is it possible, that nobody in WMCZ came with the same idea - yet our country has the most dense railway network and many train stations desperately need something nice! Aktron ______________________________________________________________

Don't they sell every possible square centimeter to advertisers and shops as in Italy? :-O ;-)
