One part of the collection of the Museum of King Jan III's Palace at Wilanów is a set of interior decorations removed during restoration works in 1955-1962. It consists of eight panels from Locci's 2nd Room, concealed door from the Anteroom and a panel from the ceiling of the King's Sons' Room. Using the documentation from the restoration process and archival photographs, it proved possible to reconstruct the exact look of the decorations. The original idea to arrange the Chinese Apartment on the first lfoor of the Wilanów Palace is traditionally attributed to Stanisław Kostka Potocki, and the oldest inventory describing it was compiled in 1832. Intended as exposition space, the interiors were decorated in concordance with the collection displayed in each room, including, among others, paintings, woodblock prints, ceramics and lacquered objects. Currently a new permanent exhibition is being prepared in the corridor by the Chinese and Hunting Rooms in the southern wing of the palace. It will tell the history of the Apartment and the historical collection of Oriental art.
