Museum of Art in Łódź

The Museum of Art in Łódź is housed across three separate buildings and displays modern and contemporary artworks created by Polish and international artists. The collection spans painting, sculpture, and other artistic mediums arranged throughout multiple floors.

The museum was founded in 1930 from a collection of modern art assembled by the a.r. group between 1929 and 1932 under the guidance of Władysław Strzemiński. This early collection formed the foundation of the institution and shaped its focus on twentieth-century artistic experimentation.

The Neoplastic Room recreates how modern art was displayed in the 1948 gallery, showing how Polish artists thought about organizing and presenting their work at that time. Walking through these spaces gives you a sense of what mattered to those early twentieth-century artists.

The museum operates on set days and offers guided tours in multiple languages to help you understand the works on display. It is useful to check opening times ahead of your visit and consider booking a guided tour if you want deeper insights into the collection.

The museum holds one of the oldest and largest collections of modern art in Eastern Europe, encompassing over 200 works. This collection traces back to the museum's founding years and documents artistic movements that developed with less recognition elsewhere in the region.
