Pawilon Wyspiański 2000

Pawilon Wyspiański 2000 is a modern exhibition building on Wszystkich Świętych Square with a glass and brick facade. It houses three large stained glass windows set within limestone frames that form the building's most striking visual element.

The building was completed in 2007 and replaced an older residence called Pod Lipkami that was destroyed during World War II. The new structure was designed to honor both the lost history of the site and to reintegrate Wyspiański's historical artworks into the modern urban context.

The three stained glass windows on display portray medieval Polish rulers and religious figures important to the region's identity. These works were originally designed by Stanisław Wyspiański and remain central to how people today understand the pavilion's cultural mission.

The building is easy to reach from the old town center and functions as an exhibition space and information center managed by the Kraków Festival Office. Most visitors find it simple to view the glass facade and stained glass windows from outside even if they do not attend a specific event.

The facade uses an unusual design with bricks suspended from steel cables that create a distinctive visual pattern. This architectural choice was deliberate to create contrast with the classical stone frames and blend the old with the new.
