Revitalization and digitalization of the seventeenth-century palace and garden complex in Wilanow – stage III
This project was another stage of the revitalisation of Poland’s only surviving summer royal residence built in the Baroque style. The comprehensive revitalisation and restoration of Baroque architectural elements covered four historic gardens closest to the Palace, including elements of garden architecture, and the South Pergola. Conservation and restoration work was also performed in six private apartments of King Jan III situated in the main body of the Palace. At parallel, we assessed the present conservation and microbiological conditions. Restoration covered the Chinese Room, the King’s Wardrobe, the King’s Bedroom, the Dutch Cabinet, the Grand Vestibule, and the Al Fresco Cabinet. This project also involved conducting the next stage of comprehensive archaeological work, which enabled providing a final summary to our knowledge about the history of the Wilanów residence. The project also had a digital dimension. A selected Wilanów collection was digitised in 3D, which led to the creation of digital tools for educating, shaping, and developing the information society. What is more, we created a Virtual Museum. This resource is a treasury of certified and user-friendly knowledge about the residence, the collections, and the culture of centuries gone by. In recognition of completing this project, the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage honoured the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów with an award.
Implementation: 2009-2013
