Muzeum Narodowe
A modernist-style building housing a museum of Polish and world art and sculpture from antiquity to the present day
The museum houses a magnificent collection of paintings, sculpture and crafts from all eras, from antiquity to the present day. Masterpieces of both Polish and world art are presented in thematic galleries.
Inside the Faras Gallery, you will see Europe's largest collection of relics of Nubian art from the 8th to the 14th century, including a unique collection of wall paintings. They come from the flooded Christian cathedral in Faras, Sudan, and depict divine persons, dignitaries and saints.
Authentic 15th-century altars from various regions of Poland, Gothic sculptures or paintings for private prayer house the Gallery of Medieval Art. If you want to understand the role of art in the past, this is something just for you
