Many museums and galleries have had a recent “facelift” and they’ve gotten a new design, new exhibitions, new programs and… new visitors, and Królikarnia is one of those. Królikarnia added a wooden camera obscura in its backyard and a sweet small book cafe downstairs.
Additionally, new exhibitions draw younger and less arty (or only interested in sculpting) public. The finissage of Przetwory might be an example of that. Also new are the workshops (like for example sewing and knitting during the exhibition of Sara Lipska) and talks.
Named after a former rabbit warren, Królikarnia is a palace in Warsaw’s Mokotów district built in the classic style of the 18th century. Behind the building there is a great terrace, from which you can see much of Mokotów’s green. Also, works of Dunikowski are spread all over the garden and would be interesting to those of you who do not know the artist yet.
There is a summer programme of the Sculpture Museum. More info at their webpage. Make sure you also take a blanket to have a lovely sit in the park – it’s one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Warsaw.
