The 9 Best Contemporary Art Galleries In Kraków, Poland
In a city so inundated with cultural pursuits, it’s hardly surprising that Kraków is bursting at the seams with great contemporary art galleries and innovative exhibition spaces. We take a look at the top 10 contemporary art galleries in the city, ranging from collections of celebrated Polish masters to bohemian workshops dedicated to experimentation and change.
1. MOCAK
Museum
Whilst still a relatively new addition to the Kraków contemporary art scene (established in 2010), MOCAK has done well to secure itself a place as an exemplary cultural venue. The magnificent exterior was designed by Claudio Nardi to mimic and integrate with the industrial surroundings of the city’s Podgórze district, sitting in harmony with the post-war factory roofs and warehouses close by. Inside, the exhibitions focus largely on works from the past 20 years, showcasing pieces designed across a variety of media with the aim of demystifying contemporary art. Expect subversive triptych photography from Katarzyna Górna, deconstructionist sculptures from Paweł Althamer, visceral oils from Muntean and Rosenblum and plenty more.
