Housed in a neoclassical design of Karl Hinckeldeyn, the National Museum exhibits both paintings and sculpture, but from within and without Poland. The paintings cover a number of periods, from historical and symbolic Polish renderings, the Enlightenment, Romanticism, realism and finally modern works. Of special note are the works of the Spanish painter Zurbaran.
