Pałac Czapskich Czapski Palace As I stopped by Czapski Palace, now the Academy of Fine Arts, I got surprised to see a great number of abstract head statues. I could easily recognize them as Chopin's, and could instantly tell there were 200 of them. Obviously it was the art celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Fryderyk Chopin. |
Each head was looking toward different directions and that randomness I think makes this art look even more interesting. | |
Uniwersytet Warszawski University of Warsaw And across the street heading toward the old library of the University of Warsaw, I saw a Chopin profile in a big red poster saying "1810 - 2010 Śladami Chopina po Uniwersytecie Warszawskim" meaning the footsteps of Chopin's University of Warsaw. |
In the University of Warsaw campus, there is Pałac Kazimierzowski (Kazimierzowski Palace), where Chopin lived from the age of 7 to 17. As I came here in 2005, this building was gray like this, but I guess they have colored it bright yellow. |
