A Treasury of Polish Art and History
The building of the National Museum in Warsaw is one of the most important structures in the capital. It survived the turmoil of the war, saving priceless works of art. Currently, it houses magnificent collections of Polish and European painting, as well as the unique Faras Gallery, containing monuments from Sudan rescued by Polish archaeologists.
