Come celebrate the V European Day of Historic Gardens with us on April 26th! We invite you to take an interesting walk around Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów, on April 26th (4:30 - 6 p.m): HISTORIC GARDENS AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE NEW CENTURIES: SANCTUARIES OF TRADITION OR EXPERIMENTAL FIELDS OF EXPLORATION?
