5 years of Powiększenie
Powiększenie (BlowUp) is a younger brother (or sister, if clubs have any gender at all:) of Plan B, one of the first places to start a hip trend for Plac Zbawiciela (the Saviour’s Sq.). The younger of the two is not only bigger but also more of a concert venue. No surprise that they decided to celebrate their 5th birthday with a series of concerts we will keep you posted about. To start with, you may want to go and try some experimental synth-electronic-jazz. LXMP, a local duo will perform with Clayton Thomas, a Berlin-based Australian double bass player and composer.
Where: Powiększenie, ul. Nowy Świat 27 (through a gate)

#EXHIBITION
World-class posters on a fence
Henryk Tomaszewski was a world-class contemporary poster artists and graphic designer, one of the founders of the so-called ‘Polish Poster School’ and holder of countless international art awards and titles, including Honorary Royal Designer for Industry granted by Royal Society of Arts in London. To commemorate his 100th birthday, the Łazienki Royal Baths Park are organizing an outdoor exhibition of his interesting and sometimes surprising works representing different stages of his career. His works will be presented on the fence surrounding the park, from Chopin’s side. So, now you can have a walk and learn something about Polish art.

#MUSEUM
Attention trainspotters!
High-tech museums are becoming increasingly popular in Warsaw. Places like the Warsaw Uprising Museum or the Chopin Museum make an impression on those who like interactive and futuristic ways of presenting the past. But we also have a suggestion for those who prefer old, traditional museums where time seems to have stopped somewhere in the middle of the communist era and which require some effort to be discovered as they are not on the top of the must-see list for tourist who visit Warsaw for a weekend. One of those places is the Rail Transport Museum, which was opened 83 years ago in an old railway station. You have several rooms at your disposal featuring all sorts of collectibles connected with the history of rail transportation in Poland and in other countries plus an outdoor collection presenting everything from steam locomotives to a wagon equipped with mahogany furniture used by the first Polish communist leader. So, if you feel like stepping back in time and get off the beaten tourist track – become a trainspotter for a day!
