Monika Rekowska
, b. 1967
Classical archaeologist, researcher at the University of Warsaw. She gives lectures on archaeology of Ancient Rome and Greece. Her special interests focus on the history of archaeology, especially on collecting the ancient art. She conducts also archaeological research and excavations in Sicily (Akrai, since 2011), before that in France (Limoges), Switzerland (Orbe), Germany (Haus Bürgel) and Libya (Ptolemais). She has been awarded Andrew Mellon Fellowship (MSH Paris, 2002), grants from the French Government (1995), the Italian Government (1999), and the Lanckoroński Foundation (2007, 2010). She popularizes classical themes among children and youth by lecturing in archaeology and ancient history at many Warsaw schools (since 2000). As a lecturer at Children’s University, Rekowska teaches classes that develop children’s interest in the ancient world (seminar Master and Student Per aspera ad astra, lecture on Do pots grow in the ground?). Her daughters are the source of her everyday inspiration: the 16-year-old Zuzia and 13-year-old Julka prove that their mama’s activities make sense.
