In a kaleidoscope of life and art" took place at the Fryderyk Chopin Birthplace and Park in Żelazowa Wola. The exhibition is dedicated to one of the most remarkable figures of 19th-century culture – the writer, artist, and long-time companion of Fryderyk Chopin. Among the guests attending the opening were Artur Szklener, Director of The Fryderyk Chopin Institute, Étienne de Poncins, Ambassador of France to Poland, Seweryn Kuter, Curator of the Museum, Urszula Król, representing the exhibition's curatorial team, representatives of the Centre des monuments nationaux, and Karolina Fandrejewska, exhibition designer. The exhibition presents a multifaceted portrait of George Sand as an outstanding writer, an independent and unconventional woman, and one of the leading figures of 19th-century European culture. It explores her life, artistic achievements, as well as social and political activism, placing their story within a broader artistic, social, and historical context. We invite you to visit the exhibition at the Fryderyk Chopin Birthplace and Park in Żelazowa Wola and discover the fascinating world of George Sand, one of the most inspiring personalities of her time. __ The exhibition has been organised under a partnership agreement between the Fryderyk Chopin Institute and the Centre des monuments nationaux.
