About Panorama Racławicka
The Racławice Panorama is one of the best-known sights in Wrocław and the only Polish artwork of its kind. The painting, which covers 1,710 square meters (about 18,400 square feet), depicts the Polish army's victory over the Russians at the Battle of Racławice in 1794. The work was created for the 100th anniversary of the battle under the direction of the painters Jan Styka and Wojciech Kossak. After World War II, it was moved to Wrocław and kept hidden for many years, since the depiction of a Russian defeat risked causing diplomatic tensions. Today it is displayed in a purpose-built building that was completed in the 1980s. One of the most visited exhibitions in Poland, the panorama draws large numbers of visitors every year.

Perhaps the most-visited tourist site in Wrocław, it consists of a large canvas painting wrapped around a viewing rotunda. It creates a 360-degree view of the Battle of Racławice (1794) between Russian troops and Polish insurrectionists. The battle was a victory for the Poles, however the Russians won the war. Visits are conducted in tour groups roughly every half-hour and foreign-language audio guides are available. The ticket also allows entry to the National Museum, Ethnographic Museum and Museum of Comptemporary Arts.
