- The Unknown Face of Beksiński at Wawel
If the weather is nice, we recommend a walk through the Wawel gardens. From April 27th, you will be able to see an exhibition of fourteen sculptural works by Zdzisław Beksiński, including the monumental pieces "Macbeth" and "Hamlet." The exhibition "Beksiński. Sculptures," presented in the Royal Gardens, is the first monographic show of three-dimensional works by Zdzisław Beksiński, one of the most outstanding contemporary artists, known mainly for his painting, drawing, and photography. It is worth discovering his other side.
