Götter, Helden, und die Sterblichen: Eine Reise durch Griechenland und Rom
Jeder hat die Namen Heracles, Odysseus and Achilles schon mal gehört. Erleben Sie eine Welt in der diese mytischen Helden als Wirklichkeit galten und die Götter des Olymps über die Schicksale der Menschen bestimmten. 2.000 Jahre alte Relikte werden Sie der Wiege der Eurpäischen Kunst näher bringen und Ihnen einen Einblick in das Leben in der Antike vermitteln. Gemeinsam werden wir den erstaunlichsten Dingen nachgehen: Warum musste Wein mit Wasser vermischt werden? Was steckt hinter dem Spiel Kottabos? Und wie kann ein unscheinbarer Ziegelstein von größerer Bedeutung für die römische Armee gewesen sein als die Schwerter der Legionäre?
Tickets sind erhältlich an der Museumskasse und online ab dem 22. April.

The Golden Age of Dutch painting
The 17th century is known as the Golden Age of the Netherlands - it was a time of prosperity in which the Netherlands grew from a small swamp on the edge of Europe to a world empire. How did the Dutch acquire their wealth? In search of the answer to this question, we will go to the Gallery of Old Masters, where we will look at paintings by Dutch masters and talk about 17th-century trade, fishing and... the production of paintings! In the footsteps of the great merchants, we will visit the great ports and markets of Europe, and travel to the African coast to confront the colonial past of the Netherlands.
Tickets will be available at the ticket office and online starting 20th May.

Masterpieces or the NMW 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.
Tickets will be available at the ticket office and online starting 27th May.

SELF-PORTRAITS
7th June / Saturday / 13.00
Join a tour of the temporary exhibition SELF-PORTRAITS with a guide from the Education Department.
The “Self-Portraits” exhibition presents an assortment of contemporary examples of this class of artwork, going far beyond the standard depiction of an artist’s likeness that classic art history has accustomed us to. Among the works spanning a range of disciplines (paintings, sculpture, photography, sound installation, and more) we find pieces that are highly personal as well as ones that contribute to a broader analysis of the artist’s place in society.
meeting point in the Main Hall / tickets 35 zł and 25 zł available in the ticket office and online from Tuesday preceding the event / before the tour please collect a headset from the Information Desk / approx. 80 min
