Polish millionaire and art collector Grazyna Kulczyk is planning to build a Museum of Contemporary Art and Performance in Warsaw to house her collection of both Polish and international art, The Art Newspaper reports. Scheduled to open on 11 November 2018 to mark the country’s independence, the new building will have 6,000sqm of exhibition space and will be located near the city’s Copernicus Science Centre on the banks of the Vistula river.
The project for a new museum coincides with the sale of Stary Bowar in Poznan, a major cultural institution founded in 2003 by Kulczyk which combines an art gallery with more than 200 retail spaces, to a German investment group for €290m. Kulczyk is also currently building a museum near St Moritz in Switzerland due to open between 2016 and 2017.
30 November 2015.
