Winter Evening of Light 2014, The Royal Lazienki Museum

Gardens of Light is an international project aimed at showcasing the world’s most spectacular historic gardens and museums. The five unique royal residences specially selected for the project are the Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw, Prince Pückler Park in Bad Muskau (Germany), Tsarskoye Selo Museum in Saint Petersburg (Russia), Prince Kung’s Mansion in Beijing (China) and Château de Lunéville in France.

The main goal of the Gardens of Light is to communicate to the public the aesthetic visions of 18th and 19th century architecture and garden design with their focus on a seamless blend of nature and art and strong connections to scientific discoveries and philosophical thought of the period.

The first event in 2014 will be the Winter Evening of Light – an evening walk in the gardens, lit by lanterns. During the walk, the guests will have an opportunity to admire picturesque garden illuminations. The walk will take place simultaneously in all the participating gardens.

Europe’s first Dreamliner has landed in Warsaw

This is a big day not only for LOT Polish Airlines but also for Poland, PLL LOT president Marcin Pirog said Thursday at the ceremony welcoming arrival of the airline's first Boeing 787 Dreamliner - the first one in Europe.

Escorted by F-16 fighter jets, LOT’s first 787 landed in heavy fog Warsaw's Chopin international airport after a ten-hour long flight from Everett near Seattle, US.

“This is one of these memorable events which are crucial in the 80-year long history of the Polish carrier,” Pirog said at the event held at the Chopin airport in Warsaw. “We are the first airline in Europe which has the aircraft of the 21st century,’ he added.

LOT will operate the 787 on short-haul flights across Europe in December, and will introduce the Dreamliner on its long-haul passenger service from Warsaw to Chicago in January 2013. LOT will also use the 787 to operate routes from Warsaw to New York, Toronto and Beijing.

The 787 Dreamliner is composed of light-weight composites and features numerous systems, engine and aerodynamic advancements, making it more efficient to operate compared with its competition. It is the first mid-sized airplane capable of flying long-range routes, providing airlines with unprecedented fuel economy and low operating costs and enabling airlines to open new, non-stop routes preferred by passengers.

This delivery is the first of eight Dreamliners that LOT has on order, with the next four due to be delivered early next year.
