Guided tours of the permanent galleries:
A Story on a Vase: Dive into Ancient History
We’ve carefully selected pieces from the 1,800 on display in the Gallery of Ancient Art to show you the most exciting aspects of ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Roman and Greek art . Together, we’ll learn why the Egyptians mummified animals and why the Greeks reversed the colour scheme when painting their famous vases . These and more ancient facts, stories and tidbits (some of which may not be suitable for our youngest visitors!) will ensure your visit will be far from boring.
The Dawn of Civilization: A Journey to Egypt and Mesopotamia
The dawn of the great civilisations built along the Nile, Euphrates and Tigris began over 3,000 years BCE. Let’s journey through time to learn about the powerful deities and dangerous rulers of Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia. We’ll learn what Mesopotamian cylinder seals were used for, why the appearance of vessels and dishes was an innovation that rivalled the invention of the wheel, and discover why it was so important to ancient Egyptians to preserve the bodies of their dead and why until recently, the mummy of a woman was believed to be the mummy of the male priest Hor-Jehuti!
Gods, Heroes, Mortals: A Journey to Greece and Rome
Everybody’s heard of Heracles, Odysseus and Achilles! Discover a world where these mythical heroes were believed to be real, and people’s fates were in the hands of the divine inhabitants of Olympus. 2,000-year-old relics will serve as our guide to the rise of European art and as a window into the lives of ancient Romans and Athenians. We’ll explore why wine was to be mixed with water, how the game kottabos was played, and why an inconspicuous brick is more indicative of the power of the Roman army than a legionnaire’s sword.
Faras: Treasures of the Sunken Desert
The discovery of the Faras Cathedral changed the face of modern archaeology. In 1961, a Polish archaeological mission led by Professor Kazimierz Michałowski began excavations in Sudan, just across the border from Egypt, in the small village of Faras. There, they discovered a cathedral from the 8th century, its walls covered with more than 120 paintings of angels, saints and bishops, among others. They discovered so much more than just a cathedral - they found traces of a forgotten Nubian civilisation that thrived at the intersection of many cultures. Today, you can admire the paintings and other relics from the cathedral in the museum’s Faras Gallery – the largest exhibition of Nubian art in Europe. Discover Faras and its explorers!
Full of Radiance: Mediaeval Art
Discover Poland’s most opulent collection of mediaeval art, with works dating from the 12th to the early 16th centuries.
