The Royal Castle in Warsaw is one of the most important
museums-residences in Poland. Its history and the provenance of its
collections are extremely complex and symbolise the turbulent
history of the country. The last king of Poland, Stanislaw August,
created a great collection of works of art and commissioned the
interior design in a classicist style. With the loss of
independence by Poland, works of art and furnishings were
transported to Russia, then later returned under the Treaty of Riga
in 1921. Looted by the Germans during World War II, the Castle was
blown up in 1944. The castle finished being rebuilt in 1984 and
today is a museum of interiors and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The highlights of the Castle's collections include paintings by
Rembrandt and Canaletto as well as valuable objects of decorative
arts and historical memorabilia, showcased in this latest
Director's Choice with the expertise of Director Wojciech
Falkowski.
