The Fryderyk Chopin Monument in Warsaw's Łazienki Park is an Art Nouveau monument depicting the composer under a stylized willow tree. Its design was created as a result of a competition in 1908, and the author of the sculpture was Wacław Szymanowski. The monument was unveiled in 1926, but in 1940 it was destroyed by the Germans. Reconstruction was completed in 1958. Since 1959, Chopin concerts have been held there. The monument has its copies in Japan and Gliwice.

Chopin Bench No. 15 is located next to the Chopin Monument in the Royal Łazienki Park. It is the most famous monument to the composer in the world, located in Łazienki Park, opposite the gate on Aleje Ujazdowskie, near the Belweder Palace. The bench, like 14 others in Warsaw, plays Chopin's works at the push of a button and contains information about the composer's connection with a given place. Thanks to QR codes, you can download an audio guide, and a map on the seat indicates the locations of the other benches.
