Established in the 17th century, it is a testament to the city's resilience and cultural significance. The museum is set in the romantic ambiance of the largest park in Warsaw, covering an area of approximately 80 hectares. The origins of the Royal Łazienki Museum date back to 1677 when it was commissioned by Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski.

The Ballroom, also known as the Great Salon, is the epitome of elegance, with its ornate ceiling frescoes and gold accents. The museum houses a vast collection of European artworks, including paintings from Dutch, Italian, and Polish masters. Moreover, the Royal Łazienki Museum is home to the world's largest collection of paintings by Marcello Bacciarelli, a renowned 18th-century Italian painter. The museum also hosts numerous cultural events, concerts, educational activities, and exhibitions, making it a vibrant hub of Warsaw's cultural life. Beyond its historical and cultural significance, the Royal Łazienki Museum is celebrated for its stunning park, filled with exotic plants, picturesque ponds, and enchanting peacocks.
