Curatorial context

The 'Secrets of the Łazienki Goosanders' program offers a deep dive into the lives of the remarkable goosander ducks that nest in the hollows of old trees within Łazienki Park. These birds undertake a challenging annual journey from the historic gardens to the Vistula River, their natural habitat. The Royal Łazienki Museum actively participates in aiding the safe passage of these ducks across busy city streets. This series of educational events is designed to enlighten participants about these extraordinary birds through various activities. The program includes diverse events catering to different age groups, such as craft workshops ('Felted Goosanders' for children and guardians, 'Embroidered Goosanders' for adults and youth), an informative lecture ('Helping Goosanders' for adults and youth), a nature walk ('Not Just Woodpeckers Live in Tree Hollows: About Mandarin Ducks and Goosanders' for families), and a pastel drawing workshop ('Drawing Goosanders with Dawid Kilon' for adults and youth). These events aim to educate attendees on the anatomy, behavior, migration patterns, and conservation needs of goosanders, while also engaging them in creative and artistic activities inspired by the birds.
