Get scared!
A British Squad is sent on a training mission in the Highlands of Scotland against Special Operations squad. Ignoring the childish “campfire” stories heard about the area, they continue with their mission and come across the bloody remains of the Special Ops Squad, and a fierce howling is pitching the night sky… With two mortally wounded men, they make an escape, running into a zoologist by the name of Megan – who knows exactly what hunts them. What began as what they thought was a training mission turns into a battle for their lives against the most unlikely enemies they would have expected – werewolves. (description from imdb.com)

#MUSEUM
Delve into past by art
Recently reorganised, the National Museum of Warsaw exhibits an array of works of art dating from ancient Egypt times to 21st century. You can admire there Polish classics like Matejko (don’t miss his immense ‘Battle of Grunwald’!), Malczewski or Wyspiański. But what truly fascinates us there is the section of European medieval religious art (one of the biggest in the world). This part of the exposition has been just re-opened after the renovation. We still remember how impressive it was for us when we were kids-2.5 meters tall wooden crucifixes, with all the details of the suffering Christ presented right in our faces…long corridors with silent, mysterious yet beautiful Madonnas and dozens of angels starring at us all the way..both amazing and frightening a bit it was then. Who said that museums are boring?
Apart from that U can visit a temporary exposition presenting the works of one of the most important Polish painters of XIX century – Aleksander Gierymski. He is famous for his very accurate portraits full of sensisbilty towards his models and depicting everyday life of Poland, particularly in Warsaw.. The jewel iin the crown at this exhibition is a painting which has recently came back to museum after had been stolen during the World War II – “The old orange seller”
