Exhibition in National Museum

I recently moved to the capital, where soon I begin to study at the university.

And the parish church of Frederic Chopin.

Then I visited my favorite National Museum. Very carefully I photographed exhibits of the permanent exhibition and the pics I put below (some of them are with descriptions in English).

Detailed information about the exhibition here: www.mnw.art.pl/en/collections/permanent-galleries/faras-gallery (official site of the National Museum in Warsaw).

"The Professor Kazimierz Michałowski Faras Gallery is the only permanent exhibition in Europe featuring Medieval Nubian paintings from the Nile River Valley south of the First Cataract. The collection of over 60 paintings from the 8th to 14th centuries came from the cathedral in the city of Faras, a large urban centre in the Medieval kingdom of Nobadia, in present-day Sudan. Nobadian rulers controlling the Nile Valley from the first to the third cataracts converted to Christianity around 548 AD  influenced by  missionaries sent from Constantinople by the Empress Theodora. The first cathedral was erected in the 7th century, when the city was still known as Pachoras, and likely stood at the exact site where Polish archaeologists taking part in the Nubia Campaign discovered the subsequent 8th century cathedral."

Trip to Łowicz

I'd like to tell you about my yesterday's trip to Łowicz. I was there for the first time in my life. I visited, among other things, Museum (description in English here → www.muzeumlowicz.pl/english). Generally, I love museums and art galleries! Below a few pics of mine from that place.

Above is the example of apartment's interior from XIX/XX century. The furniture in the Rococo style (the chest of drawers and the corner cabinet), Classicistic style (the couch, the armchairs and the clock), Biedermeier style (the dresser), eclectic style (the coffee table). 

Personally, I really like watching this kind of interior design. It's so unusual.

The paintings are mainly from XVIII, XIX and XX century.  Their exact descriptions (in Polish) ↓

Being in this museum I noticed the crosses behind the glass display case. Here they are:

There you can also admire typical for this region outfits, armors, and many other.

Cycling

Today I was on a cycling trip in the forest. Then I came up with an idea that I should write a post on my blog about the beneficial effects of cycling. Instantly I remembered Queen's song "Bicycle Race". And then I realized that today Freddie Mercury would have a birthday.

Happy Birtday Freddie Mercury!

Lunchbox

In this post I'd like to share one of my way to healthy life. That is simply lunchbox. It's great idea to take it to school, university or job. Then we are sure that we eat healthy meals made by us. We can prepare sandwiches with whole-grain bread, groats, salads, vegetables, delicacies and fruits.

What is more, I recommend thermal mug. For me it's really helpful thing. I can drink my fav green tea, herbal tea or chicory coffee everywhere, not only at home.
