"The signs of freedom. Durability of Polish indentity" - exibition in Royal Castle in Warsaw. Almost 500 pieces from artists like Zofia Stryjeńska, Jan Matejko, Bruno Schultz or Wojciech Weiss. All of them have the same denominator - they are talking about independent Poland.
Apart from paintings, there are radio auditions (fragments from radio "Solidarność" and Polish Radio). In the last hall, there is a space where many portraits of Polish people are presented. In this idea, the museum wanted to show the continuity of the Polish country. But the most important person in this exhibition is Jan Matejko. He was an artist who fell in love with history, and he showed it in his paintings some of the important events for Poland like "BItwa pod Grunwaldem" (one of the most important battles in the world) or "Batory pod Pskowem". Through these paintings you can see them in this museum all the time, but not in this arrangement.
This proposition has Royal Castle in Warsaw on the occasion of 100.recuperation Poland's independence. Amazing, rare presented work is for example ruby and diamond jewellery from August II Strong's collection, which you can normally see in Grünes Gewölbe in Dresden.
The display you can see almost until 31 of March. It will also be many additional attractions like historical lectures, concerts or plays for children.
