Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology, Japanese art museum in Dębniki, Poland.
Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology is an art museum in Krakow housing collections of Japanese artwork, prints, and technological exhibits. The spaces are divided into various exhibition areas displaying both traditional and modern objects side by side.
The museum was founded in 1994 following the initiative of Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda and built upon a Japanese art collection from the early 1900s. This foundation, gathered by Feliks Jasieński, became the core of the institution that exists today.
The museum displays traditional and contemporary Japanese art forms such as woodblock prints, calligraphy, and ceramics that visitors can experience directly. These works offer insight into how Japanese artists perceive and represent their world.
The building sits along the Vistula River and is easy to locate, with exhibition spaces arranged across multiple levels in a logical flow. Visitors should allow sufficient time to experience the various galleries and available programs fully.
The building was designed by architect Arata Isozaki and incorporates Japanese design elements with wave-like forms reflecting its waterfront position. This architectural feature makes the structure itself a notable work of art.
