The Royal Lazienki Museum will host a murals exhibition on 7 October 2026 in Warsaw, presenting large illuminated boards about selected construction and renovation projects from across Poland. The outdoor display is being organised with the Association for the Protection of National Material Heritage as part of the Modernisation of the Year competition.
Murals exhibition opens at Royal Lazienki on 7 October
The exhibition opening is scheduled for 7 October 2026 at the Royal Lazienki Museum in Warsaw. The organiser says the display will present selected projects recognised in the nationwide Modernisation of the Year and Construction of the 21st Century competition.
The boards will stand at the main entrance to the park from Agrykola for 30 days. The display is intended for residents, visitors and passers-by, making the exhibition visible in the public space rather than limiting it to an indoor gallery. The organiser also describes the project as a presentation of murals and other award-winning works connected with improvements to public space.
The exhibition links a contemporary discussion of architecture with a historic royal residence. Visitors approaching the park from Agrykola will encounter images of modern projects before reaching the buildings associated with the former summer court. The exhibition announcement gives the opening date and venue together.
The outdoor display meets an eighteenth-century residence
The Palace on the Isle is the central historic building of the museum complex. Its origins reach back to the late seventeenth century, when Prince Stanis?aw Herakliusz Lubomirski commissioned a Baroque Bathhouse pavilion designed by Tylman van Gameren.
King Stanis?aw August bought the Bathhouse and the Ujazdowski estate in 1764. Architects Domenico Merlini and Johann Christian Kammsetzer later transformed the pavilion into the Neoclassical Palace on the Isle. The building became a villa museum displaying the king’s art collection, and the museum describes a 1792 concept for a modern public museum. These details give the October 2026 murals exhibition a setting where architecture, public culture and national identity have been connected for centuries.
The palace also shows how the site has changed over time. Conservation and refurbishment work took place between 2012 and 2015, including repairs to the terrace, roof, façades and interiors. The official Palace on the Isle history records those stages and identifies the two architects responsible for the Neoclassical transformation.
What the 7 October exhibition adds to the park visit
The display is not a temporary change to the palace interiors. It is an outdoor exhibition positioned at the park entrance, so the boards can be viewed as part of an approach through the site. The organiser says the exhibition will include large-format panels and works connected with murals, while the opening will take place in the Royal Theatre and Old Orangery setting.
The event therefore gives the October visit two distinct layers. The boards concern recent building and public-space projects from across Poland, while the surrounding museum preserves a royal residence developed from a seventeenth-century pavilion and transformed in the eighteenth century.
