The exhibition will display selected items from the collection of the JU Museum in Collegium Maius. The exhibits presented were donated to the Jagiellonian University by various patrons or are dedicated to the memory of the greatest donors of the Kraków alma mater. Additionally, the exhibition commemorates the 50th anniversary of the grand opening of JU Museum in Collegium Maius in 1964, during the University's 600th Jubilee.

The exhibition illustrates that the University would never have been able to flourish if not for the continuous support of its patrons, from the founding monarchs, clergy, nobility, bourgeoisie and professors to the modern government representatives and generous countrymen. Many of these benefactors have been JU alumni. The exhibition is also a form of expressing gratitude to all these people and acknowledging their commitment.

An extensive catalogue of exhibits is being prepared. It will be completed by mid March 2014, so as to make it ready for print in May.

Throughout the duration of the exhibition, portraits of the Jagiellonian Laurel Award winners will be shown in the basement of Collegium Maius.
