Building of the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Art gallery palace in Śródmieście, Poland
The late historicist building features a symmetrical facade with classical columns, elaborate stone details, and a central dome atop the main entrance.
The gallery building, completed in 1900, became a national symbol after President Gabriel Narutowicz was assassinated there in December 1922.
The institution exhibits international contemporary art through rotating exhibitions, conferences, lectures, and workshops in multiple gallery spaces throughout the building.
Located at Plac Małachowskiego 3, the gallery opens Tuesday through Sunday with extended hours on Thursday and offers guided tours in multiple languages.
The building represents Stefan Szyller's first major architectural achievement and contains original exhibition halls with natural overhead lighting systems from 1900.
