Taken in Arkadia park, Central Poland.

The park was founded in 1778 by Princess Helena Radziwiłł, who lived in Nieborow. For designing and decorating its numerous pavilions she employed the most outstanding Polish architects and painters of the time. She also gathered one of the first antique art collections in Poland in the park. Owing to her, Arkadia enjoyed the status of one of the greatest cultural centers of the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. In the park, nature and art are in harmony: the complex is composed of buildings imitating ancient ruins or the English Gothic style (Murgrabia House, Little Gothic House, Stone Arch, the Diana Temple with a Pantheon and Etruscan Room, the Sanctuary of the High Priest, the Cave of Sybil, the Tomb of Illusions, Circus, the Aqueduct and Amphitheatre). Arkadia is the only such classical-romantic historical complex in Europe, and the Museum received the European Award for the Protection of Historic Sites in 1994 for its restoration.
