See the various faces of the ‘Royal show’
We invite you to visit iconic Warsaw residences – the Royal Castle, the Royal Łazienki Museum, and the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów, where throughout November you will be able to see exhibitions, explore unique spaces, and enjoy educational activities for children and adults alike, all free of charge. The initiative, organised by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage to increase access to culture, is being held for the 13th time, and this year is called the ‘Royal show’. The programme proposed by the institutions is extremely inclusive and intergenerational in nature. The events tell the history of the residences and their collections, but also draw attention to their future.
