Then it was just a short walk to the Chopin Museum. There has been a museum at this site for many years, but new audiovisual effects have been added. We had purchased our tickets online for only a certain number of visitors are admitted per hour because the exhibit spaces are quite small. We were given an RFID card to wear. When we got to exhibits we put the card next to a symbol and then produced English language for us, sometimes narrated and sometimes subtitled. In addition all the exhibits were labeled in Polish and English, but having the additional language was very helpful.
While preparing for this visit, I found on a web site that visitors would not believe what had been done to Ogranski Palace. Here is one photo showing the new addition to the palace.
This whole area of the museum was quite acrylic! It also had some very unique exhibits. I really enjoyed the one shown in the video below.
What appears to be a vertical line in the video is the crack between two acrylic panels, something that I couldn't control.
As we proceeded through the levels of the museum, we discovered the new part was built under the courtyard of the palace.
After the museum visit we walked back to ul. Foksal and chose a restaurant for lunch. Then we wandered along the street toward the Galleria enjoying the special table exhibits provided by the Cepalia store. Cepalia sells true Polish handicrafts; one can be confident that anything purchased at the Cepalia store truly comes from Poland and not from some other country where products are made more cheaply.
We took the train back to Kotun arriving just in time for kolecja. The evening was spent in either leisure or starting preparation for next week's classes.
