The museum, however, denied that the exhibit was linked to Polanski's arrest in Switzerland, where he was detained last month on a US warrant over a 1977 child sex case.
"You cannot prepare such an exhibit in a few weeks. We have worked on it for a year and a half," Krystyna Zamyslowska, the exhibit's manager, told PAP news agency.
"The exhibit had from the beginning the consent of the artist, who approved its script," she said.
The Oscar-winning director is facing a lengthy legal battle to avoid justice in the United States in connection with a 1977 sex case involving a 13-year-old girl after he was arrested on an international warrant in Zurich 10 days ago.
Polanski has asked a court to release him on bail while he fights the extradition request. The Swiss justice ministry said Tuesday it asked the court to reject his demand for bail.
