Description
The Xawery Dunikowski Museum of Sculpture is an art museum in Warsaw housed in a palace complex with landscaped gardens surrounding the building. The galleries contain over 500 sculptures in stone, clay, and metal ranging from intimate portrait heads to large-scale monumental works.
History
The museum was founded in 1965 when sculptor Xawery Dunikowski donated his collection of 151 sculptures along with paintings and drawings to the Polish government. The palace was adapted to house this major artistic legacy and opened as a public institution.
