The group will collaboratively analyze motifs from the play that are directly associated with the art and architecture found within Łazienki. Key landmarks on the itinerary include the Palace on the Isle, the Amphitheatre, and the Monument to King John III Sobieski, all examined in the context of Wyspiański's masterpiece.
