The exhibit presents the most valuable items from the famous Czartoryski collection, spanning an impressive swath of geography and history from Ancient Egypt up to the 19th century. Across a diversity of fields and mediums - including ancient art, archaeology, military items, painting, graphics, literature and more - two main themes are emphasised: historical and patriotic items, and artistic items. The first includes items connected to famous figures of Polish and European history, among them Jan III Sobieski, Kościuszko, Shakespeare, Napoleon, Petrarch and more. The second theme displays artistic masterpieces by Rembrandt, Matejko, Italian Renaissance painters and others. Notably absent is Leonardo Da Vinci’s, Lady With an Ermine, which will be on a display at the main branch of the National Museum from May 19th.
