Since August 27, 2016, you can visit the unique and unrepeatable Museum of Polish Song, which has chosen the Millennium Amphitheatre in Opole as its seat.
The museum's exhibition outlines the history of Polish songs from the 1920s to the present day. The role of a multimedia player is played by two musical walls, on which there are touch screens displaying music videos, fragments of concerts, television programs, reports and interviews with artists. Each visitor receives a set: an audio guide and comfortable headphones, which allows them to individually explore the exhibition and listen to selected songs for as long as they want. There are also lenses placed in the musical walls - through which, like through a keyhole, visitors can peek at the historical background of a given period. The hit of the Museum turned out to be the song recording booths, in which each visitor can record their favorite song and send it by e-mail as a souvenir. The most important thing for us is to show that songs are created thanks to the cooperation between the composer and the author. I have noticed that for some time now, the media has been talking only about the performers, omitting the songwriters, most likely because the latter are less attractive to them in the media. In our museum we want to emphasize that if the composer and the author had not met, there would not have been many great hits – says Jarosław Wasik, director of the Polish Song Museum in Opole.
In the Museum of Polish Song, fans of Opole festivals will find detailed information about each edition, and in special, suspended spheres, fans of pop music can spend many hours watching reports and fragments of concerts. There is also a place dedicated to stage fashion, where real costumes of stars are collected, and where you can virtually dress up in them. The museum invites you to meetings with artists, concerts, as well as museum lessons and educational activities for the youngest.
Welcome to the Capital of Polish Song.
