Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre, Cultural center at Grodzka Gate in Lublin, Poland
Grodzka Gate - NN Theatre is housed in a restored historic building that once connected two distinct neighborhoods of medieval Lublin. The space now contains an underground passage, exhibition areas focused on printing history, and facilities for theatrical performances and workshops.
The building originally served as a gate separating two distinct areas of the medieval city, marking the boundary between neighborhoods. It was restored and converted into a cultural institution starting in 1990, eventually becoming an independent organization with expanded programs.
The center presents the lives and histories of different communities that inhabited this city, with a special focus on how cultures coexisted here. Exhibitions and performances explore the diverse heritage that shaped Lublin's past and its neighborhoods.
The underground passages are accessible to visitors and offer a different perspective on the city's historical layout and development. Comfortable footwear is recommended when exploring these areas, and it is worth checking what exhibitions or performances are currently scheduled.
Permanently installed speakers throughout the space play recorded voices of people sharing memories and details about how life unfolded in old Lublin. These audio testimonies bring personal perspectives directly to visitors as they walk through the building.
