A Palace on the Escarpment

Królikarnia is a Classicist palace on Puławska Street in Warsaw, built between 1782 and 1786 on the Vistula escarpment. The name comes from an earlier animal enclosure where rabbits were bred. The residence belonged in turn to the Radziwiłł and Krasiński families, and the original building did not survive the Second World War.

The Museum of Sculpture

Rebuilt in 1964, the palace was taken over by the Xawery Dunikowski Museum of Sculpture, a branch of the National Museum in Warsaw. The interiors show the works of its patron along with temporary exhibitions devoted to both historic and contemporary sculpture.

The Sculpture Park

A landscape park surrounds the palace, holding a collection of sculptures from the National Museum that has been growing steadily since 2001. The park is freely accessible and can be walked from dawn to dusk.
