The National Museum in Warsaw

The National Museum in Warsaw is one of the oldest art museums in Poland. It was established in 1862 as the Museum of Fine Arts, but its seat was not built until 1927–1938. The building in the modernist style was designed by Tadeusz Tołwiński. Today, the Museum's collections include approximately 830,000 works of Polish and world art, from antiquity to the present day. They include painting, sculpture, drawings and engravings, photographs, numismatics, as well as objects of applied art and design. The museum houses a wonderful collection of paintings, sculptures and crafts from all eras, from antiquity to the present day. Masterpieces of Polish and world art are presented in thematic galleries. In the 19th-century Art Gallery, you will be amazed by the most outstanding works of Polish artists shown in the context of European works. An undoubted attraction is the "Battle of Grunwald" by Jan Matejko. This is the largest Polish painting, the canvas of which is nearly 40 m2 (4.26 x 9.87 m). #artshunting #poland #warsaw #museum
