On some evenings, the façade of the Wilanów Palace changes beyond recognition... The characteristic Wilanów yellow disappears, replaced by a riot of colours and lights accompanied by Baroque music – all part of the mapping show.
Mapping is a 3D projection that combines light, image and sound. It is displayed on the Palace façade and uses architectural elements to create an illusion of the building coming to life. The mapping show uses lights to recreate King Jan III and Queen Marysieńka in the Palace windows and re-enact i.a. court dances and a royal procession entering the Palace.
