Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw
On December 15, 2005, Mr. Lech Kaczynski, the newly elected President of
the Republic of Poland, accompanied by Mr. Kazimierz Michal Ujazdowski,
the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, presided over the opening
ceremony of the architectural competition for the new building of the
Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
The initiative to create the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw is a joint
project of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage on the one
hand, and of the Mayor of Warsaw, supported by a resolution of Warsaw
Municipal Council, on the other hand.
The authors of the Museum project fully expect that the Museum of Modern
Art In Warsaw will stand out among other similar facilities because of
the following factors:
- the Museum will house users and processes, rather than spectators and
objects;
- the Museum has a unique location adjacent to the Palace of Culture and
Science, and hence is endowed with a special moral and historical context;
- the Museum building is an attractive structure;
- the art collection groups high-quality, unique items;
- the Museum intentionally projects its presence into the city’s public
space.
A Preliminary Concept for The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw was
prepared and adopted by the Museum Programme Advisory Board on August
28, 2005, and subsequently, on September 12, 2005, was recommended by
the Board of the Museum as the departure point for further work on the
program, as well as for preparations for an international competition
for the design of the Museum.
