The MNK Matejko Biographical Museum is not just a place where you can view works from different periods of the artist\u2019s career and gain an insight into his creative process. It also offers the unique atmosphere of the historic house where one of Poland\u2019s most recognisable painters was born, lived with his family and created his art.
As we tour the MNK Matejko House with a guide, we will try to recapture the spirit of days gone by \u2013 we will see what the artist\u2019s studio looked like and how the drawing room was furnished, learn more about the painter\u2019s family and friends, depicted in the portraits on display, and discover items from MNK Matejko\u2019s own extensive collection. We will also trace the artist\u2019s creative journey \u2013 from his early attempts to his final, mature works. We will see sketches for his famous large canvases and smaller, yet no less interesting paintings, such as \u201cNicolaus Copernicus, or a Conversation with God\u201d or \u201cThe Interior of Casimir the Great\u2019s Tomb\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
