Summer holidays at Norblin Factory are a time of unique encounters with art. In July and August, the Art Box Experience space transforms into a multi-sensory journey through eras and styles – from the elegance of Parisian Art Nouveau to pre-war Warsaw. Importantly, on weekdays, children and teenagers up to the age of 18 can visit the exhibitions for free!
The summer programme at Art Box Experience features two exceptional shows:
• “Alfons Mucha – The Magic of Art Nouveau” – the first immersive presentation of the Art Nouveau master’s work in Poland. Visitors are transported into a world of sensual illustrations, monumental artworks and the Parisian lifestyle of the turn of the century. This modern interpretation of Art Nouveau heritage combines light, sound, scent and multimedia, allowing visitors to step into Parisian ateliers, theatres and EXPO 1900 halls. The exhibition is available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until September 14. Every Wednesday at 6:30 PM and Saturdays at 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, guided tours are held to deepen the understanding of Mucha’s art and the spirit of the era.
• “Retro Warsaw” – on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays until September 9, the Art Box Experience space takes on a completely different story. “Retro Warsaw” returns in a new, expanded version. This digital, kinetic and emotional narrative about the capital of the 1920s and 30s is based on nearly 200 digitally restored and colourised archival photos and films. Every Sunday, “Retro Warsaw” offers family time-travel sessions at 12:00 PM and guided tours for youth and adults at 1:00 PM. Additionally, on weekends, visitors can meet actors portraying historical characters – newspaper boys, female photographers or elegant couples from Club Adria or Cinema Splendid – who speak in old Warsaw slang, giving guests a chance to truly feel the spirit of the city.
Summer at Art Box Experience also includes special accompanying events:
- yoga surrounded by art with Selflove
- perfume workshops with Slou Lab
- “A Percent of History” – tasting workshops
There is also an ongoing contest for the most beautiful colouring page inspired by Mucha’s work – the prize includes tickets to the Alfons Mucha Museum in the Savarin Palace in Prague: https://artboxexperience.com/regulamin-konkursu-alfonsmucha/
