Dominik Maiński

I was born in Warsaw, but I have been living in Lublin for over twenty years. Many people ask me why I changed the capital to a smaller city. Lublin has an unusual atmosphere. It is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in Poland. This place inspires and delights me all the time. I can also pursue my professional career here.

I am a graduate of history and art history of the Catholic University of Lublin, and I defended my Ph.D. thesis in history at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. I have had trainings and done lectures, e.g. at the University of Reykjavík in Iceland, Nordland University in Bodø in Norway, Bosphorus University in Istanbul in Turkey and the University of the Azores in Ponta Delgada in Portugal. I was a lecturer at the Open University of KUL and the University of the Third Age in Lublin. My scientific interests include: the art of Lublin, artistic craftsmanship, numismatics and medallic art, copyright in art and Scandinavian art, which resulted in participation in many scientific conferences and a scholarship of the Mayor of the City of Lublin.

I was an actor of Leszek Mądzik's Artistic Stage at KUL, which gave me the opportunity to participate in numerous theatre festivals for example in Lebanon and Syria. I also worked at the Art Gallery of the Art Stage, organizing and arranging exhibitions.

Traveling is my passion, so I am often on the road, which results in travel meetings and photography exhibitions. So far, I have visited over 60 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. My furthest trip was to Easter Island. I am the originator and organizer of East est - the Festival of Eastern Travels in Lublin, during which the greatest travelers, writers and artists working around the broadly understood Orient meet.

I can guide you inLublin and the so-called "tourism triangle" (Kazimierz Dolny, Puławy, Nałęczów and the surrounding area) as a PTTK guide. I am also a licensed guide to the National Museum in Lublin, the State Museum at Majdanek and the Open Air Museum in Lublin. I cordially invite you to explore our beautiful city and region with me!
