A King, the Muses and some Oranges

Orange trees, ancient sculptures, artificial thunder, and a king in the theatre. An Italian landscape by the water, and picturesque ruins. You’ll find all these under one roof in the heart of Warsaw. Where? In the Old Orangery at the Royal Łazienki, which is where this book wants to take you. There you’ll find a lot of unusual activities to keep you entertained. You will be able to dance to the rhythm of architecture and create an orange grove. You’ll see how a sculpture is made, and piece one together yourself. You’ll design a machine for special effects and make your own theatre. And you will also get to know King Stanisław August Poniatowski and discover his connection to Apollo, the Greek god of art. You will also find out who the Muses are… Come on — let’s get busy reading, drawing, cutting out and glueing — there’s work to do!
