October 18–24
Nearly 100,000 people have already seen “All the King’s Tapestries: Homecomings 2021 – 1961 – 1921.” But all good things must come to an end. So Wawel Royal Castle is holding a week-long closing celebration – “Farewell to the Tapestries” – which will take place October 18–24. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the entire royal tapestry collection preserved in Poland. The closing celebration includes extended hours, reduced admission, discounts on catalogues and other publications, and a free multimedia show – the suspense-filled story of the tapestries told with music and light – in the castle’s Arcaded Courtyard.
If you haven’t seen the exhibition yet, time’s running out. This – the biggest ever exhibition of the tapestries of Sigismund II Augustus in the museum’s history – will probably never be repeated. It’s an exciting, inspiring show that I guarantee you won’t forget. The sleek, contemporary exhibition design highlights one of the premier tapestry collections in Europe without detracting from the splendid historic interiors of Wawel Castle. Don’t miss it! – Prof. Andrzej Betlej, Director, Wawel Royal Castle.
