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.

Sunday, Kislev 15, 5778. December 3, 2017. Shalom! World. Green Caffè Nero, Nowy Swiat, 53. Warszawa/Poland. The blend ot Green Caffé Nero has remained the same unique since the year that the founder and owner, Gerry Ford, spent months working and crafting with John Ritzy, a master coffee roaster, and his Probat in a smal room beneath London Bridge. He knew exactly what he was looking for to start Green Caffé Nero: that rich, persistent roast that spoke of his time living in Italy and that has now became so familiar to us all. It was 1997, 20-years ago. The beans required to achieve this distictive flavour, however, aren't easy to find. G.C.N. source handpicked beans from higher altitudes and rich soils across a variety of origins to get the kind the quality that will complement the meticulous methods, providing the richness and flavour that G.C.N. simply won't compromisse on. After all these years, G.C.N. come to think of it as an art. There's no rushin...
