One of the most valuable works, unique in Europe. A frieze that can only be seen once every 10 years at the Royal Castle in Warsaw . This strictly protected exhibit inspired us to create an event where you can play the Stockholm Roll with the carefree spirit of a child! We organized a giant puzzle.
When we were invited to cooperate in promoting the Year of Vasa by the Royal Castle in Warsaw, our team was filled with euphoria, filled with pride and readiness for action.
We decided to create memorable events. On October 19th, we stepped outside the castle walls and onto Castle Square. The mere fact that we were dressed in our magnificent 17th-century costumes made people turn their heads and take photos. At high noon, under the Sigismund III Vasa Column, we began handing out over half-meter-long puzzles to passersby and tourists. The goal was simple: to assemble giant puzzles that would ultimately prove just how magnificent a work of art the "Stockholm Roll" is! For 40 minutes, over 200 people placed their pieces in their correct places. Children, adults, older people, and younger people alike—in short, everyone was captivated by the fun.
At Castle Square, in the heart of Warsaw, we recreated a frieze over 20 meters long and 1,5 meters high! Only from a bird's eye view could it all be fully appreciated. The Stockholm Roll we assembled depicted the triumphal entry into Warsaw of Sigismund III Vasa and his wife, the Austrian Archduchess Constance. This painting features a vast number of figures, intriguing details, painted hussars, the Queen's retinue, courtiers, and much, much more!
Putting together a giant puzzle is an event we created from scratch in the most recognizable place in Poland. Imagine that. Hundreds of people, tourists, and tour groups. The event took place in a public space in the heart of Warsaw, in the Old Town. Numerous permits, land use consent, design and printing of 200 puzzles, event promotion, media relations , transportation, rental of period costumes, sound system, hosting, branding , historical knowledge, collaboration with cultural institutions , and, of course , photographic and video coverage (including aerial footage using a drone), and much more… was it a success? Absolutely! Our name obliges!
