Olga Boznańska – a painter at the turn of the century / Emilia Maryniak
Olga Boznańska was an artist with an individual style of work. Her original technique and way of thinking about art, translated into a unique atmosphere and depth in her paintings. All of this, however, was made possible by the wider cultural changes that took place in both the artistic and social spheres. Krakow, Munich and, above all, Paris, were places of endless discussions about art, into which the question of women's emancipation was becoming more and more prominent. The guided tour will look at the milieu in which Olga Boznańska lived and worked, but also at the unique nature of her work.
Tickets will be available at the ticket office and online starting 16th September.

Masterpieces or the NMW in a Nutshell / Patrycja Ambroszczyk
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.
Tickets will be available at the ticket office and online starting 23rd September.

Beautiful and Practical: The Gallery of Polish Design / Romualda Radwańska
This is likely the only gallery in the museum where you will see everyday objects and furnishings that may look familiar! During this tour, we’ll explore lesser-known pieces in the Zakopane Style from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, discover 20th-century icons of Polish design, and discover pieces by contemporary young and up-and-coming Polish designers. The museum’s newest gallery presents beautifully designed mass-produced objects, such as televisions, radios, household appliances, textiles and furniture, and designs, models and prototypes that never made it to production.
Tickets will be available at the ticket office and online starting 30th September.
