Kino Kosmos w Lublinie, Modern movie theater in Lublin, Poland.
Kino Kosmos in Lublin was a modern movie theater with a large auditorium designed to hold around 800 spectators and equipped with advanced projection technology. The building featured a functional design by architects Dutkiewicz and Korzeniowski, optimized for screening panoramic films of that era.
The cinema was founded in 1961 by architects Dutkiewicz and Korzeniowski and served as an important venue in Lublin for several decades. It ceased operations in 2009 and was demolished in 2012 to make way for the Centrum Park development in the city.
The theater screened both Polish and international productions, including 'The Diary of Anne Frank' and Billy Wilder's 'The Apartment' in its early programming.
The building no longer exists today, but its history can be explored through local archives and conversations with longtime residents. The site offers insights into the postwar cinema culture that shaped Lublin's entertainment scene.
The original neon sign reading 'KOSMOS' was rescued and now hangs in Galeria Labirynt in Lublin, where it was installed during a cultural event in 2013. This surviving piece of the cinema's heritage reminds visitors of the building that once stood in the city.
