Warsaw. Chopin's shop. Review
We easily found Chopin's shop right in the center of the city, walking along the Krakow suburb .. Or rather, we didn't even look for it, we just stumbled upon it.
Unfortunately, it did not work ... But we did not understand this immediately, unsuccessfully repeatedly trying to press the button ...
But it's okay, because the most important thing is to take a selfie on time in a well-known and popular place))). Here it is written: “Take a selfie with Fryderyk Chopin here”.
And here we are)).
After many hours of walking around the city, rest on the bench turned out to be very useful)).
Another Chopin shop was located nearby, in the Saxon Garden park. We came to the park in the evening and settled down on a bench next to a cart selling drinks .. It turned out that these are our compatriots, young guys. They were so tired of the pounding of Chopin's shop for the whole day, which every minute was turned on by numerous tourists that they could not restrain themselves, and without any hesitation expressed out loud absolutely everything they think about the shop and tourists ... It's funny))
There are several such music shops installed in the city, all of them are necessarily associated with the work of the greatest composer, and with the history of the place in which they are installed, respectively, and the melodies sounding from them will also be different. On such benches, if you pay attention, there is a map of the installation, and you can gradually move from one to the other, walking around the city. In addition, the shop itself contains brief information explaining exactly what events it is dedicated to.
For example, on this music shop, installed near the Church of the Business Cards, it is written that this Rococo church was a place of worship, which was attended every Sunday by the students of the military lyceum, where Fryderyk Chopin was a student. As an organ expert, he accompanied the chants of the nuns during the services. Since this church survived the war virtually unscathed, it is said that its organ still retains several of the original trumpets that Fryderyk Chopin once played.
There is also a QR code on the bench, with which you can download an audio guide story and a piece of music to your smartphone. Chopin's benches in Warsaw are a very original and interesting historical monument, I recommend.
