The last day of the exhibition about Maria Leszczyńska
We invite you to a unique curatorial tour of the current temporary exhibition – Sunday, March 1st at 4:00 PM. This is the last day of the exhibition and your last opportunity to see it with commentary from an art historian. The tour will be led by Małgorzata Gniazdowska.
Who was Maria Leszczyńska? What was the fate of the daughter of the last owner of Leszno, the Leszczyński family? What is truth and what is merely legend? Our exhibition, devoted to the extraordinary biography of the Queen of France and her youngest daughter, Stanisław Leszczyński, answers these questions.
The exhibition – thanks to objects from the District Museum in Leszno, the National Museum in Poznań, the Royal Castle in Warsaw – the Museum, the Regional Museum in Toruń and the Kórnik Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences – presents the life story of the longest-reigning queen of France, whose reign lasted 43 years alongside Louis XV.
Visitors will see portraits of Maria, her parents and Louis XV, as well as arts and crafts related to the Queen. Part of the exhibition is also devoted to the legend of Maria Leszczyńska, present in popular culture since the nineteenth century – we present graphics, publications and souvenirs showing how the figure of the queen functioned in the collective imagination.
