Culture and Arts

 

Castles and Palaces:

 

Over the centuries, Polish kings and magnates erected numerous defensive castles and stately palaces. Turbulent history has reduced many of them into piles of rubble. Some of them, however, have been spared and today - carefully restored - enchant us with their beauty. At present, some of these buildings house government offices, colleges, etc. Others serve as museums.

Culture and Arts In Poland

 

The Royal Castle:

 

Built by royal order of the king, then rebuilt by the efforts of the nation, the Royal Castle in Warsaw was the seat of kings from the 17th century on. Totally destroyed during World War II, it has been restored to its former beauty during the 1970s, thanks to the generous donations of Poles and numerous Polish communities abroad. Now, as a splendid museum, it is open to the public.

Museums:

Poland offers a wealth of museums that are sure to suit every tourist interest. Museums and galleries devoted to art, archaeology, culture, technology and other fields can be enjoyed country wide. Moreover, Poland's network of authentically maintained castles, palaces, and World War II commemorative sites enable visitors to glimpse the actual remnants of Poland's past.
