Polish city fights to protect famous symbol from commercial exploitation
Quick Glance: City Museum Advocates for Protection of Iconic Symbol
  • Kraków’s municipal museum has issued an appeal to protect one of the city’s most famous symbols, the Lajkonik, a bearded horse rider supposedly representing 13th-century Mongol invaders.

  • There are differing views on the origin of the Lajkonik. According to a widely held legend, the figure, dressed in "Oriental" clothing, was inspired by the Mongol invasion of Poland in 1240-41 and may have emerged as part of commemorations of the attack.

  • The museum noted that the Lajkonik parade was one of the first entries to be included in Poland’s national list of intangible cultural heritage. The aim of this was in part to "protect our tradition against the use of the Lajkonik character outside the context accepted by the community, often for commercial activities".

  • The museum appealed to all those who care about the history and heritage of Krakow to understand our position, respect the traditional context in which it is cultivated, and maintain appropriate sensitivity.
