  WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A baroque Warsaw mansion hosting a museum
  dedicated to one of Europe’s greatest 19th century musicians, Polish
  pianist and composer Frederic Chopin, is reopening with a new focus on
  original artifacts after months of pandemic-spurred renovations.

  “The main reason of this refurbishing was to create a good atmosphere,
  good air conditions for the ... original objects,” Artur Szklener,
  director of the National Frederic Chopin Institute said Thursday.

  “And at the same time we wanted to change some ideas of the exhibition
  itself showing more of the originals,“ he told The Associated Press.

  The museum, which houses Chopin’s last piano, a Pleyel, and manuscripts
  of his music, will also display new items including letters he wrote to
  his companion, writer George Sand, and a satirical drawing she made of
  him, as well as an oil portrait of Chopin by his friend Teofil
  Kwiatkowski, a fellow Pole.

  The focus of the renewed exhibition is on the original manuscripts,
  which take the place of previous copies, and on recreating the mood and
  style of the times they belong to, museum officials said.

  “Especially after the pandemic we realized that people are overwhelmed,
  oversaturated with things that are not original, they have enough of it
  and they wanted more originals, they wanted to touch the real thing,”
  Chopin institute spokesman Aleksander Laskowski told the AP. “They
  cannot touch the letters, obviously, but they almost can.”

  “That was the reason for change: be original. And we are,” Laskowski
  said.

  Seeing the letters in Chopin’s handwriting, written in “beautiful
  Polish and in a very imaginative way” one cannot help feeling
  “transported to his age and into his drawing room,” Laskowski said.

  A large part of the renovation was creating the right technical air and
  light conditions for exhibiting 19th century manuscripts and other
  objects, while respecting the architecture of the 17th century
  Ostrogski Castle.

  Popular among Poles and foreign tourists, the museum saw an 85% drop in
  number of visitors during the pandemic. That turned out to be a spur —
  and an opportunity — for change. It closed in the fall of 2022 for
  renovation and rearrangement.

  The global trauma of the deadly pandemic has also led to some exhibit
  changes or removals, especially in the room documenting Chopin’s death,
  according to curator Seweryn Kuter.

  Space has also been made for more items that were owned or linked to
  the Romantic-era composer, who spent half of his life in Paris, museum
  officials said.

  Chopin was born in 1810 in Zelazowa Wola near Warsaw to a Polish mother
  and a French father. Seeking to develop his talent, he went to Vienna
  in 1830 and then to Paris, where he settled until his death in 1849.

  He is buried at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris, but his heart was
  brought to Poland and rests sealed in a pillar of the Holy Cross Church
  in Warsaw. The museum reopens Saturday.
