Galeria Szyb Wilson, Art gallery in Janów-Nikiszowiec, Poland.
The Wilson Shaft Gallery occupies a former mining bathhouse building, spreading across 2500 square meters of exhibition space in an industrial district of Katowice.
Originally named Richtofen and Hulda, the facility received its current name Wilson in 1935 to honor the President of the United States before becoming an art center in 2001.
The gallery displays contemporary paintings, sculptures, and installations from Polish and international artists while organizing the annual Festival of Art Naif.
Visitors can access guided tours in English, use free parking facilities for cars and buses, and receive assistance for mobility requirements throughout the exhibition spaces.
The conversion from an industrial mining facility to Poland's largest private art gallery demonstrates the transformation of Silesia's industrial heritage through cultural initiatives.
