The museum's exhibition program focuses on promoting and popularizing local, progressive and recent phenomena of contemporary art. Its collection in 2019 amounted to 318 objects by Polish and foreign artists. Its concept is based on the legacy of Jerzy Ludwiński, and his combination of conceptual art practice and social debate.
Headquarters
Headquarters
The air-raid shelter on Strzegom Square in Wrocław was originally intended as a temporary home for the Museum. It is the largest of the five air-raid shelters built in Breslau in the 1940s, designed by Richard Konwiarz, the German architect who designed Berlin Olympic Stadium. It is a six-storey building of reinforced concrete. Its outer walls are over one meter thick, and the ceiling is one and a half meters thick. The German architect's shelters referred to the imperial style and to Napoleonic architecture, probably deliberately so as not to betray their function.
