The Fryderyk Chopin Museum (Muzeum Fryderyka Chopina w Warszawie) is a museum in the Polish capital Warsaw, dedicated to the Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849). The museum is housed in the 17th-century city palace designed by Tielman van Gameren that is also home to the Chopin Association and the Chopin Institute. The collection consists of around 7000 objects, including manuscripts, letters, photos, jewelry and graphics. Among the pieces are a cast of Chopin's left hand, his death mask, and various pianos. Part of the Chopin legacy was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999.

    We loved the information I learned about Chopin plus the flow and architecture of the museum and its listening stations. A creative space that honors a great composer and so peaceful. Not only is the Chopin Museum a special treat, their May 25, 2024 recital with Jan Wachowski was stellar. If you have the opportunity to hear this phenomenal pianist and composer play, go! His mastery of Chopin and his own Variations in C major were astonishing -- definitely a pianist and composer worth watching in the future. Our best wishes to the Chopin Museum -- and Jan!
