Imagineear in the Presidential Palace, Warsaw
Imagineear’s third Polish client in quick succession is the prestigious Presidential Palace in Warsaw.
While Polish visitors to the official seat of the President of the Republic of Poland are taken around the state rooms of the Palace by a guide, foreign visitors are supplied with an audio tour on a player in English.
It was recognised that there was a need to update the provision for foreign visitors, so Imagineear were asked to update the pre-recorded and authorised English-spoken audio tour and to provide a number of MediaPacker™ devices.
The Palace was original built as a family residence in the 1640s and was remodelled in classical style at the beginning of the 19th Century. Its chequered history has included use as a theatre, resurrection after a devastating fire and hosting a concert by the eight-year-old Chopin – all in the 1800s. In the 20th Century it became first the seat of the prime minister and the offices of the Council of Ministers, then a luxury hotel and casino under German occupation. It is where the historic Warsaw Pact was signed with the Soviet Union in 1955, and subsequently where the seeds of changes towards democracy in Poland were sown, before becoming the Presidential seat in 1994 and the site of the signing and ratification of all significant Polish treaties since then.
The upgraded tour covers the principle public halls, the state and conference rooms as well as the chapel where Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI prayed and donated gifts.
