Tours of the Studio Storerooms of the 20th and the 21st century
We address the tradition of “museum tours.” Our tours focus on sculptures on display at the Studio Storerooms of the 20th and the 21st century. The guides are us: the content-related team of the Museum of Sculpture and the researchers who collaborate with us on a daily basis. Each of the experts has planned their own path that leads through the works of prominent Polish sculptors of the 20th and the 21st century. The guides share their own perspective on the works.
The meetings are held in three blocks to embrace diverse needs of our audiences:

Sculptors' Warsaw
As of November, the Museum of Sculpture cordially invites visitors to a cycle of encounters with sculpture in urban space. Each of the meetings begins with an exploration of a given sculptor's works gathered in the Studio Storerooms of the 20th and the 21st century, followed by a tour along the route of the artist's most interesting projects in Warsaw. The two-hour tours offer our guests the possibility to discover places where artists lived their professional and private lives. The first meeting concentrates on the presence of Polish sculpture in world exhibitions, explaining Poland's immense success at the exhibition in 1925, the reasons why Polish artists surprised the Paris audience in 1937, and the perverse twist of fate that brought Jagiełło to New York, among other questions.
The cycle was created by Hanna Dzielińska – journalist, Warsaw guide, awarded 2nd prize in the competition for the commemoration of the Great Synagogue in Warsaw (May 2013). Dzielińska is also the Sculptors' Warsaw tour guide.
Dates of upcoming tours:
20.12.2014 Wood Wizard, Stone Wizard – Jan Szczepkowski
10.01.2015 The Unknown Faces of Xawery Dunikowski
21.02.2015 A Socialite – Olga Newska
8.03.2015 The Sculptor of Warsaw – Ludwika Nitschowa
