Masterpieces or the MNW in a Nutshell
Nearly 5,000 works of art in six galleries and only 80 minutes to see it all? Don’t worry; we’ve got it covered! During our museum tour, we’ll show you the greatest hits: the most famous, valuable, beloved, and surprising pieces in our collection! Together, we’ll search for the oldest object in the Gallery of Ancient Art, try to figure out how much an Egyptian tomb’s false door weighs, and look deep into the eyes of the Nubian Mona Lisa! There’ll be plenty of big names, like Botticelli, and delightful Polish design icons. And, of course, the opportunity to take a group photo in front of the museum’s largest painting, Battle of Grunwald, by Polish painter Jan Matejko.

Józef Chełmoński – a guided tour of the temporary exhibition
Józef Chełmoński is a highly regarded painter whose work enjoys a special place in the history of Polish art. For over a hundred years, his images of nature, countryside landscapes, and scenes of village life have been considered the essence of “Polishness”. As a Romanticist, a man with a fiery temperament, a great vital force, and a sense of humour, Chełmoński painted following his instinct and intuition, independently of any movement.
Tickets will be available at the ticket office and online starting 3rd December.
