A gallery for changing exhibitions
Galeria Kordegarda is run by Poland’s National Centre for Culture and is housed in the Ministry of Culture and Heritage building. Its programme puts experimental work alongside more traditional art, leaving room for visitors to make their own judgments about both.
Past exhibitions have included work by Józef Czapski and a show about the Enigma machine. The gallery also hosts conversations, workshops and concerts throughout the year. Check its website before visiting to see what is on and whether an event is scheduled.
Art and Warsaw history
A VR film about the Warsaw Uprising is available in Polish and English. It gives the gallery a historical focus alongside its changing art programme. The exhibition selection changes, so the work or objects on view depend on when you visit.
The gallery’s entrance is decorated, offering an artistic detail to notice before you go inside. Its small scale suits a focused stop between other sights on Krakowskie Przedmieście.
