Classical music lovers will be able to visit a new museum during breaks in Warsaw, Poland this year.
The capital city recently hosted the opening of an institute dedicated to the life and work of Frederic Chopin.
Opened to mark the 200th anniversary of the composer's birth, the museum is based in an old building that has been undergoing renovations since 2005.
People who visit the new attraction during breaks in Warsaw can see a collection of historic items including diaries, printed scores, musical manuscripts, pieces of correspondence and biographical works about Chopin.
Alicja Knast, the museum's curator, said: 'We want the museum to be a universal, inspiring and thoughtful place, corresponding at the same time with the individual needs of the visitors.'
She added: 'I strongly believe that this goal can be achieved, primarily because it is essential to create a museum for the 21st century that gives credit to Chopin's genius.'
