Visit to the National Museum in Warsaw

On a hot Thursday afternoon, we found shelter in the majestic and… pleasantly cool interiors of the National Museum, where we went at the invitation of the friendly Hestia Artistic Travel Foundation, to see the exhibition “Different Perspectives Dutch and Flemish Painting from the ERGO Hestia Collection”. The exhibition will present paintings by 17th-century Dutch and Flemish masters on loan from the ERGO Hestia Insurance Company. This is the only corporate collection of Old Masters paintings in Poland, never before shown to the public. The exhibition will be supplemented by selected works from the National Museum in Warsaw. On display there are 52 works by eminent artists, such as Salomon van Ruysdael, David Teniers the Younger, Jan Porcellis, Gabriel Metsu, and Jan Breughel the Younger. We were shown around the exhibition by its curator, Aleksandra Janiszewska. The exhibition, which includes a number of accompanying events, can be seen until 25 July. We heartily recommend and thank you for the invitation!
