National Museum in Warsaw

The National Museum in Warsaw is one of the largest museums in Poland, with collections ranging from ancient to contemporary art. It also prepares its collections with blind and partially sighted visitors in mind.

We have prepared audio descriptions of selected works from the collection – including lithographs by Witold Wojtkiewicz from 1904, Henryk Szczygliński’s poster for the Zielony Balonik cabaret, Ludwik Puget’s puppet caricaturing Jacek Malczewski, Józef Pankiewicz’s drawing “Harlequin” and James Ensor’s painting “Scandalised Masks”.

Each description gives the author, date, technique and dimensions of the work, then conveys its composition, colours and character in detail, complemented by a brief context.
