Polish Art 16th - 19th C.

The gallery of Polish art on the second floor of the National Museum in Wrocław presents mainly works of painting, sculpture and, to a lesser extent, artistic craftsmanship from the 17th to the early 20th century. These include works by Polish artists as well as foreign artists active in the former Republic of Poland. The core of the collection consists of paintings from the National Gallery of the City of Lviv (287 paintings and drawings) and from several museums in Kiev (180 works), which found their way to Wrocław as part of the revindication after 1945. The exhibition is enriched by examples of Polish sculpture from the 19th and early 20th centuries and artistic crafts. A small collection of Sarmatian portraits is also on display in the hallway.
