Ken - it is very  true but there is no Polish Ministry of Astronomy (look at
the prospect of endless jokes of the cosmic dimensions this time) but simply
Natural History Division of Academy of Science and I didn't point at
anything just Mike looking at two telescope enclosures (both crowning 2
identical towers at 2 sides of the classicist building) asked for the
explanation.

Hmmm... how often did he look behind himself?

We were sitting at an outdoor place in a park in Warsaw having a restful
interlude. Witold explained the Russian tradition to sit for a few minutes
before embarking, in this case us getting prepared to go off to the airport
to return to NYC. Anyways, the place was behind and outside of the Polish
Ministry of Astronomy and Witold pointed out to us that on top of the
building, in a very symmetrical outlay, were two telescope enclosures (my
rude comment was that the social realist bumps looked like architectural
elements) and, somewhere along in my being corrected for my lack of serious
political correction, Witold told us that not only had Poland produced
Copernicus but from this very observatory that we were sitting near to that
Poland had the first stereoscopic astronomical observatory and that the
Poles were the first to map out a 3-D map of the cosmos.
