Gallery of 20th Century Polish Art

This Gallery offers the most comprehensive museum presentation of this type in Poland. The area of over three thousand square metres presents selected examples of Polish art of the 20th and 21st century. It is the fifth arrangement of the Gallery (opened in 2005) in the history of the Museum. Everyone will find something for themselves, regardless of their artistic preferences and interests. The exhibition opens with the most outstanding examples of Polish art around 1900. Visitors can admire "Młoda Polska" [Young Poland] paintings by such prominent Polish artists as Witold Wojtkiewicz, Olga Boznańska, Wojciech Weiss, Józef Pankiewicz, Ferdinand Ruszczyc and Jacek Malczewski. Stanisław Wyspiański and Józef Mehoffer's artistic output is represented by monumental designs for stained glass in the cathedrals in Krakow and Fribourg, Switzerland.
