Summary/Abstract: In September 1969, The Plein-airs of Koszalin, 1963–1968 exhibition was shown at the Zachęta– Central Bureau for Art Exhibitions in Warsaw.The show gathered seventy artworks by Polish and international artists created at the Osieki Plein-airs in the 1960s. The works belonged to the Museum of Middle Pomerania in Słupsk; today they constitute the core of the Koszalin Museum’s contemporary art collection. The paper discusses some aspects of the 1969 exhibition in Warsaw as the presentation of an international art collection that was founded thanks to donations by artists participating in the Osieki Plein-airs. Analyses of the strategies of exhibition organisation and of the institutionalisation of the collection fall within the research perspectives of new museology and the history of exhibitions.
