We do our best to make the Fryderyk Chopin Museum in Warsaw as well as the Birthplace of Fryderyk Chopin and Park in Żelazowa Wola available for the visitors with diversified needs. We implement the inclusion activities, such as live music meetings, movement improvisations, guided tours with audio description and tyflographics, workshops co-created by hearing impaired and deaf people.
