Angielska wersja malarskiego przewodnika po Łazienkach Królewskich "Muzeum zachwytów".
"Museum of Marvels" is a book that reveals the microcosm and macrocosm of the Łazienki world – it will let you experience moments of full visual delight. You will find in it countless beautiful and amusing illustrations to which you can come back on numerous occasions – just like to Łazienki.
On successive pages of the painting guide to the Royal Łazienki, you will encounter, among others, chickens escaping from a painting, the king bathed in a pink cloud of powder, squirrels dancing among autumn leaves, or a mythological satyr – half man, half goat. All this amidst laughing tourists and busy museum staff. Thanks to the book you will enter historic buildings and discover their extraordinary treasures: a clock in the shape of a birdcage, a fragrant fountain or 18th-century ice cream vases. A whole array of impressions awaits you also in the Łazienki gardens, painted using vivid green colours of spring, depicting the warm rays of summer sun, autumn mist and the red bellies of common bullfinch shown against a background of white snow.
