Panorama of the Battle of Racławice
Panorama Racławicka
A circular painting 114 meters long and 15 meters high, depicting the 1794 victory of Polish peasant forces over Russian troops. Its 360-degree view offers full immersion.
The panorama was painted in 1894 by Jan Styka and Wojciech Kossak. It was originally exhibited in Lviv. After World War II it made its way to Wrocław, where it was re-exhibited in this round pavilion in 1985. Visitors stand on a central platform, where the real ground in front of the painting blends into the scene, creating a convincingly three-dimensional effect. Admission is by timed session, each lasting about 30 minutes, with multilingual audio guides, including Chinese. Tickets also include admission to the National Museum.
