When I went today to the exhibition "The Splendor of Power", which can be seen in the Royal 艁azienki, and I was very close to my destination, hail started to fall and I had to run away from the pieces of ice that were intensely falling on me. Somewhat soaked, I entered the exhibition place, left my outer clothes in the dressing room and took the deck of cards related to the exhibition - "The Treasury of Knowledge". Who would have thought that going to a museum could provide such emotions 馃槈
*Gdy sz艂am dzisiaj na wystaw臋 "Splendor w艂adzy", kt贸r膮 mo偶na zobaczy膰 w 艁azienkach Kr贸lewskich i by艂am ju偶 bardzo blisko miejsca docelowego zacz膮艂 pada膰 grad i musia艂am ucieka膰 przed intensywnie spadaj膮cymi na mnie kawa艂kami lodu. Nieco przemoczona wesz艂am do Podchor膮偶贸wki, zostawi艂am moje wierzchnie ubrania w szatni i wzi臋艂am tali臋 kart powi膮zanych z wystaw膮 -"Skarbczyk wiedzy". Kto by pomy艣la艂, 偶e wyj艣cie do muzeum mo偶e dostarczy膰 takich emocji 馃槈*
At this exhibition you can see "the valuable works that August II and August III collected. They have created one of the most important and most magnificent collections of art in Europe in the 18th century. Among them, such valuable monuments as: gilded Sun Mask with the image of August II, one of the few surviving testimonies of the late Baroque court culture of celebration, German saber lined with turquoise and emeralds, gala attire of Augustus II made of gold and silver fabric with diamond buttons. August II and August III used a powerful tool of the monarchs at that time - the splendor of power."

*Na tej wystawie mo偶na zobaczy膰 "cenne dzie艂a, kt贸re zgromadzili August II i August III. Utworzy艂y jeden z najwa偶niejszych i najwspanialszych w XVIII-wiecznej Europie zbior贸w sztuki. W艣r贸d nich tak cenne zabytki, jak: z艂ocona Maska S艂o艅ce z podobizn膮 Augusta II, b臋d膮ca jednym z niewielu zachowanych 艣wiadectw p贸藕nobarokowej dworskiej kultury 艣wi臋towania, szabla niemiecka wysadzana turkusami i szmaragdami, str贸j galowy Augusta II ze z艂oto-srebrnej tkaniny z diamentowymi guzikami. August II i August III aby 艂agodzi膰 napi臋cia polityczne pos艂ugiwali si臋 pot臋偶nym narz臋dziem 贸wczesnych monarch贸w - splendorem w艂adzy.*

You can also feel the wealth that surrounded the kings of the Wettin dynasty, there is a lot of gold and precious stones here, and the exhibits are so valuable that before entering the exhibition, I had to pass through the security gate, such as at the airports.
*Mo偶na tu tak偶e poczu膰 bogactwo, kt贸rym otaczali si臋 kr贸lowie z dynastii Wettyn贸w, du偶o tu z艂ota i drogocennych kamieni, a eksponaty s膮 tak cenne, 偶e przed wej艣ciem na wystaw臋 musia艂am przej艣膰 przez bramk臋 bezpiecze艅stwa, tak膮 jaka jest na lotniskach.*
Back to the treasury of knowledge I received at the entrance. It consists of 9 cards. One contains the instructions, and the remaining 8 contain fragments of various exhibits from the exhibition. You need to recognize them, and when we do it correctly, we can read more information about them. A fun family game, beautifully presented. From the backs of the cards you can make a poster - a golden mask. This is a reference to one of the exhibits, I must admit that I liked it the most - the golden mask of King Augustus II. He appeared in it at the carnival procession in Dresden as the sun god Apollo.
*Ale wracaj膮c do skarbczyka wiedzy, kt贸ry otrzyma艂am przy wej艣ciu. Sk艂ada si臋 on z 9 kart. Na jednej jest zamieszczona instrukcja, a na pozosta艂ych 8 znajduj膮 si臋 fragmenty r贸偶nych eksponat贸w z wystawy. Nale偶y je rozpozna膰, a gdy zrobimy to poprawnie mo偶emy przeczyta膰 wi臋cej informacji na ich temat. Fajna gra rodzinna, a do tego pi臋knie wydana. Z rewers贸w kart mo偶na u艂o偶y膰 plakat - z艂ot膮 mask臋. To nawi膮zanie do jednego z eksponat贸w na wystawie, przyznam, 偶e najbardziej mi si臋 spodoba艂 - z艂otej maski kr贸la Augusta II. Wyst膮pi艂 w niej na karnawa艂owym pochodzie w Dreznie jako b贸g s艂o艅ca Apollo.*
This is an exemplary use of a card with a recognized exhibit - the golden crown of the king. On the card was written a rhymed poem "Usually all gold on the head of the monarch, adds light, shine the face of the hierarch.
*A to przyk艂adowe u偶ycie karty z rozpoznanym eksponatem - z艂ot膮 koron膮 kr贸la. Na karcie by艂 napisany rymowany wiersz "Zazwyczaj ca艂a z艂ota na g艂owie monarchy, dodaje 艣wiat艂a, blasku obliczu hierarchy.*
I also really liked this saber with turquoise and emeralds. There are eagle heads on the hilt. It looks beautiful. I've never seen a weapon so nicely decorated before.
*Bardzo spodoba艂a mi si臋 r贸wnie偶 ta szabla z turkusami i szmaragdami. Na r臋koje艣ci znajduj膮 si臋 g艂owy or艂贸w. Przepi臋knie to wygl膮da. Nigdy wcze艣niej nie widzia艂am takiej 艂adnie ozdobionej broni.*
