Tristesse - Chopin

The Fryderyk Chopin Museum, is a museum that shapes your attitudes and world-view and influence your life. The Chopin Museum is a composition of objects, sounds, scents, lights, ideas and technologies. The message of the display is 'experiencing Chopin' - everyone can experience him in their own way. We forge the atmosphere and provide the tools enabling vsitors to arrive at a personal encounter with Chopin.

The Museum in Numbers

Choppin's last piano from his apartment at Place Vendôme
in Paris is here. The museum also holds other pianos from
the era, made by the Pleyel, Erard, Buchholtz and Leszcynski
companies. You can recall the atmosphere and sound of
the first half of the 19th century.

The FCM new permanent display comprises a surface area of approximately 890 m², 5 floors, 430 itens selected from a total collection of over 7500 objects, 8 languages, 105 display cases, 12 virtual book stands with interactive projection and sound, 70 multimodal stations, 1 'listening room', 5 5 projections, 1 interactive musical twister, 14 audio stands, 39 video installations and a five-channel video installation, 4 historical grand pianos and 1 period upright piano, 85 music manuscripts and editions, 9 soundscapes in 11 rooms and a continually expandig audiovisual programme consisting mainly of concerts and appearances by artists and Chopin scholars.



The Building

Gninski Palace (usually known as Ostrogski Castle or Palace) is the north annexe of a large planned complex designed by Tylman van Gameren, an aschitect of Dutch origins working in Warsaw. Rebuilt in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the palace had several owners and fulfillled various functions: from 1859 it was home to the Institute of Music, which continued the work of the Main School of Music disbanded in 1831 (Chopin attended in 1826-29), and during the inter-war years a music conservatory and drama school were housed here. Following war-time devastation, the palace was rebuilt in 1949-54 by Mieczyslaw Kuzma, who returned to the design. Chopin probably never set foot in this building, but he would certainly have seen such a beautiful residence, which stood out in the panorama of the capital.

Shalom! Aleichem.

JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF ANTI-SEMITISM?

THE REMUH SYNAGOGUE, KRAKOW/POLAND Monday, Kislev 26, 5777. December 26, 2016. Shalom! World.  There are two mysteries that have defied explanation for as long as anyone can remember. The first mystery is anti-Semitism, which is a mystery because there are few things in history that have been as consistent, as universal, and as predictable as anti-Semitism. From one country to another, from one culture to another, from one religion to another - although lifestyles, philosophies, and  so forth are extremely different, there is one thing all of  the peoples of the world had in common: They all, at one point or another, included individuals, and even large segments of their populations, who did not like Jews. What did these people know about Jews? Sometimes a lot, sometimes very little, sometimes nothing at all. And yet all of them have a discomfort with Jews. Some of the things anti-Semites come up with concerning Jews and Judaism, make us wonder, "What did...

World.     The Jews and the Jewish Quarter in Worms The famous Synagogue in Worms is documented as early as 1034 AD. It is the centre of the Jewish quarter which, in the second half of the  10th century, adjoined the north east curve of what was then the "inner" town wall between the Kammererstrasse and the Barengasse.

The Baroque Aron Ha-kodesh, 1960 reconstruction of the original of 1704 on the east wall of the men's section. It was apparently not until around 1030, however, after the arrival of a large number of Jews from southern  Europe, that  the first Jewish community was founded and the stone Synagogue was erected. The gravestone of Jakob ha-bachur o...
