Many museums and galleries in Warsaw have recently had a "facelift," and they've got a new design, new exhibitions, new programs, and... new visitors. Królikarnia is one of those. Królikarnia added a wooden camera obscura in its backyard and a sweet small book cafe downstairs. In spring each year, there is a Gazeta Wyborczas reading and music festival here, where you can enjoy a great cultural programme.
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. It's located beautifully in a park, and you can easily reach the city centre in just +/- 20 minutes by tram.
Currently, there are no new exhibitions here, but you can enjoy spectacular Xawery Dunikowski's sculptures in the garden and stroll around at a slow pace. Dunikowski is one of THE Polish sculptors of all time and is definitely worth getting to know.
