Exhibition summary

This project showcases 'Łazienkowskie szkicowniki' (Royal Łazienki Sketchbooks), a collection of works created by a group of fifteen artists during workshops held from March to June 2025. These sketchbooks, which are now part of the 'Visual Arts' thematic space in the 'Łazienki in Rapture' exhibition, document the artists' interpretations of the museum's interiors, gardens, and natural elements.

Curatorial context

The 'Łazienkowskie szkicowniki' project centers around sketchbooks created by a group of fifteen amateur and professional artists who are friends of the Royal Łazienki Museum. The project, running from March to June 2025, began with bookbinding workshops led by illustrator and graphic designer Marta Tomiak. Participants learned to bind their own sketchbooks, using materials like Munken Pure and Crush paper, alongside various binding tools. These self-bound sketchbooks then became canvases for the artists to capture their impressions of the Royal Łazienki Park and its interiors, including the White House, the Palace on the Isle, and the Myślewicki Palace. The resulting works, displayed in the 'Visual Arts' thematic space of the temporary exhibition 'Łazienki in Rapture,' range from detailed illustrations and studies of light and shadow to gestural drawings, perspective exercises, and imaginative compositions. Some artists incorporated typography, notes, and doodles, offering a diverse visual diary of their engagement with the museum's rich heritage. The project highlights the personal and artistic responses to the grandeur of the Royal Łazienki.

Admission and ticket notes

The sketchbooks are part of the 'Łazienki w zachwycie' temporary exhibition. Visitor information regarding access and ticketing for the main exhibition should be sought through official museum channels. This project page does not contain specific ticketing details for the sketchbooks themselves, but they are integrated into a larger exhibition context.
