GUIDED TOURS / Who’s looking at us? About portrait painting
2026-07-18 / 13:00
18th July / Saturday / 1.00 pm (CET)
tour guide: Romualda Radwańska
The National Museum's galleries feature many portraits of a wide variety of individuals. During the tour, we'll see that a portrait not only captures the image of a person and tells the story of the era in which it was painted, but can also speak volumes about its author. We'll be drawn to the artworks as old as the Fayum portrait and the Faras wall painting. We'll also look in the eyes of people painted by Wyspiański, Mehoffer, and Olga Boznańska.
Tickets will be available online and at the ticket office starting June 7th
