Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw

It is housed in a monumental, snow-white building, the architecture of which refers to the Centrum department stores located across the street. You will see here mainly works from the last few decades presented throughout temporary exhibitions. You enter its 4 galleries spanning a total area of 4,500 square meters via zigzag stairs reminiscent of the former museum headquarters in the Emilia pavilion. On each of the two exhibition floors you will also find rooms with panoramic windows through which you can observe the bustling downtown life.

The ground-floor auditorium, accessible without a ticket, is a place where you can meet friends, enjoy a coffee, and get the latest updates on the Polish art scene. You might even catch a performance or debate on a socially relevant topic. A good opportunity to visit here is the free festival “Warsaw under Construction” organized by the museum every year.

Fans of independent and experimental cinema will enjoy Kinomuzeum (MuseumCinema) located in the basement of a separate tower. Here one can see arthouse , documents, animations, as well as the museum’s archival film collections.
