While Warsaw’s cultural institutions may find it difficult to rival the art collections of the Louvre or Tate Modern, they do, on the rare occasion, exhibit works by some of the greats. Such is the case at the Królikarnia Sculpture Museum, where viewers can admire works by Pablo Picasso or Fernand Léger, among others, at the current CIRCUS exhibition. Focusing on the phenomenon of the circus and how the event, with its juxtaposing tensions between beauty and absurdity, served to inspire creativity throughout history, the exhibition brings together works by iconic, internationally renowned artists, well-known Polish names as well as contemporary practitioners.

Not without controversy, Mariusz Lewczyk’s design took top place by default after the original winner was disqualified for cheating. One of the city’s best-loved neons, its message cheerfully proclaims ‘miło cię widzieć’ (‘nice to see you’).
