Polands culture ministry announced that it recently got a mysterious package in the mail.
Inside was a set of priceless missing tiles from the 17th century.
The pieces once decorated Warsaw’s Palace on the Isle, which today is the Royal azienki Museum.

But among all the destruction, a set of 12 tiles escaped the destruction.
It is believed they were produced in Utrecht between 1690 and 1700.
During the war or immediately after it, the collection was dispersed, Zawora said.
The missing tiles were reconstructed only after the war.
The recovered elements of the original design of the Baths are extremely valuable monuments for us.
Shortly before opening, the museum got a package from Canada.
While many of the pieces were broken, this didn’t lessen the excitement of their return.
Mystery package, missing tiles, and happy ending, added the ministry.
This story is a ready-made scenario for a movie.
