World Amber Day in Krokowa

On June 28 at the Regional Museum in Krokowa, on the occasion of World Amber Day, the opening of the exhibition “Daria in the Land of Amber” will take place. At noon, invited guests, residents and tourists will be able to admire extraordinary works in Baltic amber from the collection of Daria Dorbur Burkowska. For over 30 years the maker has combined knowledge with craft practice and a contemporary approach to this noble resin. In her pieces she always emphasizes the natural features of the material — its structure and light. The exhibition at the Regional Museum in Krokowa is no different. Visitors can see necklaces, pendants, rings and brooches with a variety of natural forms of Baltic amber: from unique white, through black, cognac and honey. The maker also presents natural icicles, amber nuggets and decorative objects from her own collection.

Collections on fashion shows

Daria Dorbur Burkowska's collections are presented on fashion shows. The exhibition could not lack photographs and films from these events. Twój Styl magazine described one of them this way: “In the second part, in which Iwona Jaworska, creator of the Yavorska brand, presented her designs, we saw sensual gowns and coats of varying weight, in a neutral palette: white, ecru, beige, caramel and black. They were combined with expressive jewelry by Dorbur Daria Burkowska, who designed, especially for the show, necklaces and pendants made of creamy, cognac and black amber, set in silver and wood.” Daria's jewelry on the runways was presented by Katarzyna Butowt, Karolina Ferenc and Lidia Popiel. She herself took part in the Personality Show during the Amber Vibes 2026 Gala. The maker also carries out charitable and educational activity, running workshops, among others at the Amber Museum in Gdańsk.

The curator of the exhibition is Robert Pytlos, amber coordinator for the Mayor of Gdańsk, journeyman amber craftsman and Ambassador of Pomeranian Crafts. The exhibition can be seen until September 20, and then on October 2-4 during Gdańsk Jewellery Week 2026.

This is another exhibition devoted to Baltic amber at the Regional Museum in Krokowa. Every year during the 3 summer months it is visited by several thousand visitors. In previous years the exhibitions presented here were those of Jacek Ostrowski and Dorota Cenecka, the post-competition exhibition Prezentacje, and Baltic Amber Redefinitions. The exhibitions are organized by the City of Gdańsk, the Union of Maritime Cities and Municipalities, the Municipality of Krokowa and the Krokowa Cultural Center. June 28, opening of the exhibition “Daria in the Land of Amber,” Regional Museum in Krokowa, 12:00 p.m. (free admission).
