The publication 'Malarski przewodnik po Łazienkach' (Painterly Guide to Łazienki) is a visually rich exploration of the Royal Łazienki Park, presented through a collection of charming and humorous illustrations. It depicts fantastical scenes such as chickens escaping from paintings, a king in a cloud of powder, squirrels dancing, and mythological figures amidst playful tourists and busy museum staff. The book offers an in-depth look into the park's historic buildings, revealing treasures like a birdcage clock, a scented fountain, and 18th-century ice cream vases, as well as the beauty of its gardens throughout the changing seasons.
