  The situation has changed

  Exhibition "Situation has changed" is there to remind us of the Gallery of Polish Art of the 20th Century that used to be an important element among the permanent exhibitions of the NMK. Due to the great exhibition of Stanisław Wyspiański's works, the exhibition of the art of the 20th century was closed. After the end of Wyspiański presentation, it will come back in a new shape, like the Gallery of the Art of the 20th and 21st Century.

  European art collection

  The exposition in the granary presents seven centuries of the history of European art, using over 100 paintings and sculptures. This collection was gathered since the foundation of the Museum in 1879, mainly as gifts, and initially was not covered with a specific policy, as the Museum (as indicated by its name) was focusing mainly on the Polish works of art.

  The Numismatic Room

  The Numismatic Room was established in 1883. The initially modest collection expanded mainly thanks to the generosity of private benefactors such as Henryk Bukowski. The 1903 donation of Emeryk Hutten-Czapski's collection resulted in a radical change in the rank of the Room, which became the repository of the most representative collection of Polish coins, medals and banknotes, featuring a number of unique objects (e.g. Bolesław Chrobry's GNEZDVN CIVITAS denarius or Władysław Łokietek's ducat).
