The Ministry of Education (arch. Zdzisław Mączeński, Art Deco interior) was the first building dedicated to the Ministry. The National Museum in Warsaw (arch. Tadeusz Tołwiński, Antoni Dygat). The Glass House (arch. Juliusz Żórawski). You will learn about the diversity of religions in inter-war Poland, the ministers of education, and the tragic purpose of the ministry during the Nazi occupation: in the courtyard of the building, members of the Warsaw Uprising were shot, with bullet marks remained on the wall. You will hear about the similarities between the history of the National Museum in Warsaw and the Vytautas Magnus Museum in Kaunas, as well as about the painting and its replica exhibited in both museums. The Museum’s Hall is dedicated to the urn of Tadeusz Kościuszko remains. You will learn the legend of the Glass House and how Pablo Picasso used to visit the terrace of this house. You’ll see Warsaw’s first underground garage.
We will visit the Glass House, whose architect has been called ‘the Polish Le Corbusier’. Bartosz Antosik, a resident of the house, will show you the ‘oceanic’ architectural elements of the house.
