The programme includes the ground floor of the Palace on the Isle, the Old Orangery with its Royal Theatre and Royal Sculpture Gallery, the ground floor of My?lewicki Palace, and exhibitions in Kubicki's Stables.
The ministry's programme also lists temporary displays available during the campaign. They include The Nabis.

The museum directory confirms the campaign dates and states that ordinary visits require no passes or bookings. Ministry programme for Free November
Free November connects exhibitions with royal rooms
The Palace on the Isle is the central building of a complex that combines royal architecture, water and a landscaped park. Its interiors include the Solomon Room, the Ballroom and private apartments, while the Old Orangery contains the Royal Theatre and a sculpture gallery.
The programme therefore links temporary art with spaces associated with the former summer residence of King Stanis?aw August Poniatowski. The complex is described as a seventy-six-hectare park in central Warsaw, with palaces, pavilions and sculptures distributed through an English-style landscape garden.

A November programme across the museum complex
Free November includes more than ordinary access to the buildings. The ministry lists workshops, meetings, family activities and nature sessions, including evening walks focused on owls. It also names a performance inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in the Royal Theatre.
Special activity is concentrated around several November dates. The ministry identifies 11 November for a cavalry-related ceremony in the historic gardens, while the weekend of 14 and 15 November is associated with the museum in the wider sequence of royal-residence weekends. The programme also includes walks connected with the November Uprising and the history of 1830.
