- Lizara K195 contributionsNicely doneIt's clear a lot of money has gone into this museum. They have, for the most part, used that money quite well, with lots of interactive exhibits. One thing I really do appreciate is that in a museum about a musician, there was a lot of focus on Chopin's music and a lot of chances to listen to and explore his music. A lot of this was really clever, like the piano you put sheet music over to hear it played. There could have been a little more concrete biographical information to go along with the displays, and I would recommend that anyone who doesn't already know about Chopin's life read up on it first before visiting so you have that framework to know where everything fits. Some information is presented in a rather piecemeal way on interactive touchscreens which take longer and are less informative than simple text labels and descriptions would have been. I thought the entry fee was about right for what you get out of the museum, but there is also a free admission day on Sundays for those who want to do this a bit more cheaply.Visited January 2020Written 26 January 2020
- Laura RUnited Kingdom166 contributionsWould recommend to all pianists / musiciansWe took a trip to Warsaw at the end of February (so this review is pre-covid) for my birthday and this was my chosen activity! It was great, really well laid out and lots of interactive exhibits. I particularly loved the room where you could listen to all his different works and the piano which played the music you selected which could be viewed from the overhead gallery. I really wish I’d come here years earlier as a music student. If you’re in the area and you love music, whether you play or read it all, I’d recommend a visit here. Also, read / listen to what he had to say about his time in the UK in the room that talks about his travels ...Visited February 2020Written 10 September 2020
- Arthur CBallan, Australia415 contributionsWonderful MuseumIt will t a ke you a couple of hours to see all this Museum has to offer. Set out on four floors the Museum is dedicated to just tjis one composer, but does touch on the lives colleagues and lovers alike. Your ticket allows you to activate various exhibits. I was off the understanding that my ticket should activate English translations, but either i was mistaken, or I had the wrong ticket. A great museum and well worth a visit.Visited February 2020Travelled soloWritten 9 February 2020

Hands down the most frustrating museum I've ever visited. You have to extract what information is there from computer screens, about 25% of which don't work. Audio is only in Polish. Noise from adjacent displays bleeds, ruining

The museum is filled with music and information. It felt like a morning spent back in time. If you are a Chopin lover, this is a wonderful steeping in his life and work. But I think the music and well set up exhibits will please you even if you are a Chopin novice.

This is a good museum for Chopin enthusiasts. Letters, partitures and monitors to study Chopin's life. Unfortunately it was covid19 time when we visited - and they required to use plastic gloves which were not very comfortable for this environment. Anyway, it seemed to be dedicated for Chopin researchers, not so much for his music lovers. Technically and aesthetically nice museum.

Fryderyk Chopin (1810-1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic period. He is one of the most famous Varsovians.
The museum has been housed in the Ostrogski Palace since 1953. It is a beautiful baroque palace from the 17th century.
The museum has the world’s largest collection of Chopiniana, more than 7500 items linked to the composer’s life and work.
On Wednesdays, the entrance is free. Otherwise, the normal ticket costs 23 PLN (= 5 €).

Interesting collection of Chopin.

Nothing to see. Only many pictures, some letters, music backround of courrse, blah blah blah... Clean and esthetic, must admit. But anyway, I regret spending 5 euros for ticket. A lot of better places in Warsaw.

The visit was very interesting. We learned a lot about Chopin's intense life. Sadly he left this world too soon. We enjoyed the whole visit. There was a lot to see, to read, to discover. This place must be in the to do list.

I sent Chopin museum emails.
Because I want to book tickets.
But I still don’t get reply.
So what do I have to do?

Next time, just go there. Only in extremely rare exceptions like Paris-Louvre or Amsterdam-Rijksmuseum it makes sense to pre-book museums.
Normally, walk up, get your ticket and walk.in.

Yes. In Chopin Museum we have Chopin's last piano made by Pleyel. Chopin played on that instrument during tournee to Scottland and UK.
