The "Zygmunt Vogel - Different Perspectives" is a series of educational walks designed for individuals aged 16 and above, as well as adults, offering a unique exploration of the Royal Łazienki Museum's historic gardens and interiors. Led by Nikodem Węgier, these walks aim to interpret the Łazienki through the artistic lens of Zygmunt Vogel, a royal draughtsman who extensively documented the residence and its surroundings in his watercolors. Participants will engage in a comparative analysis, contrasting Vogel's 18th-century depictions with the present-day appearance of the palace and gardens. The series will cover specific themes for each meeting: "Royal Łazienki from the perspective of Zygmunt Vogel's drawings," focusing on the evolution of the 18th-century garden; "Zygmunt Vogel and his contacts with Stanisław August," exploring the artist's commission and relationship with the king; and "Zygmunt Vogel - more than just a vedutist?", which examines his broader artistic career and compares his style with other contemporary landscape painters and the chinoiserie style found in the White House.
