The National Museum in Warsaw has launched a series of small-format publications accompanying temporary exhibitions.

After almost 100 years from the establishment of its Department of Coins and Medals, the NMW is preparing its first permanent exhibition. The new exhibition is scheduled to open in the first half of 2020.

Due to conservation works and loaning the paintings for exhibitions in various institutions, the Matejko Room will be presented in a temporary new look starting July 16th 2018.

Be sure not to miss the sixth issue of the Journal of the NMW. The volume includes essays on the Netherlandish Codex of the Armorial of the Order of the Golden Fleece from 1577 as well as Polish and European pastels.
