Biedermeier

More than 400 artefacts are featured in the exhibition - paintings, furniture, glassware, porcelain, textiles, clothing, jewellery and decorative objects - illustrating the German iteration of the style as well as its unique national varieties, with particular emphasis on the Biedermeier art of Polish lands: the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Pozna, Galicia and the Vilnius Region. For that reason, visitors to the exhibition will find the work of artists like Jan Chrucki, Aleksander Gryglewski, Rafa Hadziewicz, Wincenty Kasprzycki and Marcin Zaleski alongside works by the likes of Ferdinand Waldmüller, Domenico Quaglio, Carl Spitzweg and Moritz von Schwind. In addition to pieces from the collection of the National Museum in Warsaw, visitors will find exhibits from the national museums in Krakow, Poznan, Szczecin, Gdansk, and Wroclaw, from the regional museums of Jelenia Góra and Konin, from the Folk Museum in Kolbuszowa as well as from historical residence museums including the Museum of King John III's Palace at Wilanów, the Castle Museum in Lancut, the Castle Museum in Pszczyna and the Museum in Przeworsk.
