Thanks to the popularity of Zakopane, the complex life of the resort is very well documented. Hence, we have images of mountain excursions, the joys of vacationers, and the everyday life of the indigenous Tatra Highlanders. It was also here that the oldest surviving recordings of Polish folk music were made, including Edison cylinders bearing testimony to the artistry of the legendary fiddler Bartłomiej Obrochta and storyteller Jan Sabała.
