The Place

Continuing our Horizon programme series, we are proud to be in Warsaw, Poland at the historic "Łazienki" palace (The Palace on the Isle). This classicist gem in Warsaw's Royal Baths Park was originally a Baroque bath-house commissioned by Prince Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski in 1674, featuring rich decorations. With our latest Horizon event, we are honouring its rich history of afternoon banquets which provided an arena for the open exchange of ideas for Polish writers, scientists and intellectuals. The movers and shakers of the day gathered here at the invitation of the King to discuss and debate the most topical issues affecting the country and the world.
