The Polish culture has been granted over 192 million euros from the EEA Financial Mechanism and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism.

To summarise this European contribution, a conference was held on 27 September 2016 in the Royal Theatre of the Old Orangery. 

The Royal Łazienki has had a new resident. It is a peacock which hatched from an egg in natural habitat in mid-August. The young bird is healthy and has a good appetite. It enjoys eating boiled eggs and potatoes.

These are works of almost the most prominent Polish artists active from the beginning of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century.
