Warsaw: Fryderyk Chopin Museum

Warsaw: Fryderyk Chopin Museum.

“The Fryderyk Chopin Museum was established in 1954 and dedicated to Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.

“Chopin (22 February or 1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849), born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin, was a Polish composer of the Romantic era. A child prodigy, he was born in what was then the Duchy of Warsaw. He grew up in Warsaw, which after 1815 became part of Congress Poland, and there completed his musical education and composed many of his works before leaving Poland, aged 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. Chopin’s father, Nicolas Chopin, was a Frenchman from Lorraine who had emigrated to Poland in 1787 at the age of sixteen.”
