The National Museum in Warsaw was originally founded in 1862 as the Museum of Fine Arts and is currently one of the oldest art museums in the country. Today the visitors can admire the museum’s collection of 830,000 works of art from Poland and abroad. It includes paintings, sculptures, coins and even more from ancient times to the present.
In connection with the jubilee, the museum initiates a series of publications devoted to the history of the Museum on the website. The work of donors and employees whose knowledge, skills, persistence, and passion allowed them to create the collection through decades needs to be in the limelight. The everyday life of the Museum is also the topic of this year’s anniversary publications.
