Warsaw is putting on a show this week, and it’s not just in theatres and galleries. Culture here is blossoming just as boldly as the magnolias. If you are in Warsaw this spring–or planning to be–this episode is your guide.
The University of Warsaw Botanical Garden is one of the city’s oldest and most beautiful green spaces, and one of its least known. Founded in the 18th century, it holds rare plant collections, stunning orchids, and peaceful pathways that most tourists never find.
Warsaw’s magnolias are in full bloom right now at Three Crosses Square, Łazienki Park, and the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, but they won’t last long.
The Royal Łazienki Museum is hosting an extraordinary exhibition by wildlife artist Domicela Bożekowska called “The City of Animals,” where naturalist Adam Wajrak reflects on the meaning of truly looking at art.
In the grand 18th-century Orangery of the Royal Baths Park, "The Art of Diplomacy" brings together artists who are spouses and children of ambassadors stationed in Warsaw.
And the Pavilion of Dance and Other Performing Arts welcomes Sasha Waltz & Guests, who will perform “In C,” a tribute to Terry Riley’s landmark minimalist musical composition.
Pulse of Culture is a weekly English-language magazine for anyone with a connection to Poland, including tourists, the diaspora, and the simply curious. New episodes are released every Sunday.
