Chopin's benches are musical benches that, at the push of a button, reproduce his sonatas and can be found in different parts of the city. I have seen them both on the Royal Street and at Lazienki Park, in front of the monument, on the benches however a map is reproduced that can facilitate its identification. This installation was realized by the municipal administration in 2010, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the famous composer who always remained very attached to his hometown. I think these benches were a really good idea.

The Chopin's benches can be found in 15 places across Warsaw, all somehow connected to Chopin and his life in the city. There is a map on each bench that marks the locations other benches. Inforamtion are both in Polish and English on them. There’s a button on the each bench that when pressed releases a short clip of one of Chopin’s masterful works. I think it is a great idea to make something like that.

A nice idea to scatter benches throughout Warsaw at places related to the life of Chopin. Each is supposed to play a selection of Chopin's music. When we visited, the musical features of some of the benches were functioning; at others, not.

As Chopin players we visited Warsaw only for the reason of exploring Chopin's life. We flew here especially from Spain and Switzerland!!! The fact that some banks were not found, because not marked conspicuously enough at all, is stupid, but that of the 6 found 4 did NOT work and the printed codes for more information also only show an error message, is very annoying!
Is Warsaw their best world-renowned musician worth too little to repair the benches? If they had a facade the colors of a keyboard, you could find it better

One of the coolest things I've seen in Warsaw, and yet so simple. Great way to bring the work of the famous composer to the people, tourists and locals alike.

Chopin is very close to the heart so there is reason to explore other areas in Warsaw as you approach the city's composer

There are 15 in all of these benches, each playing a different part of a Chopin composition. Some are louder than others, some are more well known - all are just brilliant. What a great way to commemorate Chopin in Warsaw.

It was an excellent experience to see this music bench, when you press the play button and hear the music, it is very soothing and relaxing. Try it at night, when you are on the empty street without traffic and tourists and then you push play on the bench and hear that unbelievable tune.I like Chopin and his music is eternal, leaving unforgettable emotions. I'd like to say thank you to the municipal authorities for bringing this idea into life. It's beautiful, especially when you don't pay attention to the bench and then hear it singing. I scared some rare night tourists by pushing play at night)) but hope they enjoyed music as well as I am.

Such a modern and cool way to listen to some of his songs. You just sit on the bench and press the button. It's a different thing to see and experience.

Very nice. It worth to stop by and listen Chopin music on the street. If you have enough time you can try to find all Chopin benches.

I got mine at the hotel. I think that hotels and tourist information centres can get a copy for you. Good luck.
