The Paderewski Heart exhibit for the 2013 Paderewski Festival traces a fascinating history of Paderewski’s heart, following his burial at the Arlington National Cemetery in 1941. Separated before the burial, Paderewski’s heart was embalmed and interred at the Cypress Hill Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. Rediscovered in 1960, it was eventually exhumed and reburied at the National Shrine of Our Lady of CzÄ™stochowa in Doylestown, PA in 1983. 23 large panels feature rare photographs and documents further explaining this captivating and little-known story.
