This has got to be THE BEST MUSEUM I have ever visited! It was so moving. Learning about Chopin's life and listening to his music whilst walking in the museum was idyllic.
I hope I can go back to Poland soon!!!

I've heard of the name Chopin and listened to some of his masterpieces. Worth the visit:) It'd be enjoyable if you find a song you've heard but don't know its name.
Free ticket available on every Wednesday!

A very insightful museum. We also got the opportunity to watch a live piano concert (which was included in our ticket for free!) by Piotr Sołtysik who wonderfully played some of Chopins masterpieces. Hope to come by again in the future :)

Housed in an elegantly restored building, easy to reach by foot from the Metro station Nowy Świat-Uniwersytet. Fun interactive exhibits where one can listen to and read about most of Chopin's works, including his lesser known pieces. There were .. Read more »also a few displays of his original belongings, though not many. The museum loses a star from me as I feel it could improve on the flow and content of its exhibits (for example, I was missing a lot details about his family and early childhood). All exhibition rooms were air-conditioned except for one, presumably due to AC breakdown. Overall, worth a visit, and I left appreciating Chopin's work more even though I'm not a huge fan.
