The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has organized the 15th edition of the “Free November” initiative, involving four major Polish royal residences: Wawel Royal Castle, the Royal Castle in Warsaw, Łazienki Królewskie, and Wilanów Palace.

In Warsaw, the Royal Castle announced a program featuring 500 free events, including 300 educational sessions for schools and 200 activities for individuals such as lectures and workshops. Scheduled highlights include the exhibition “The State at the Castle: Residence 1926–1939” and a permanent exhibition of historic clocks in the Royal Watchmakers' Room. On November 11, volunteers will host sessions regarding Polish heroes and national symbols.

At Wawel Royal Castle, featured exhibitions include “Anna Jagiellonka. All Faces of the Queen” and “Ecstasies. Bernini at Wawel,” alongside a loan of Johannes Vermeer’s “Woman with a Pearl Necklace” from the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin. Visitors are advised to check entry requirements and ticket availability in advance due to limited capacity at certain locations.
