The Ujazdów Castle in Warsaw is one of my favorite places. Once a royal residence, today it houses the Centre for Contemporary Art, where visitors can explore ever-changing exhibitions. During my visit, I discovered two very different installations: AI: Authority of Art and Soil and Friends. Both were thought-provoking and beautifully presented, each offering a unique perspective on contemporary creativity. What I missed, however, was joining a guided tour — it would have offered much more insight into the works on display.
The building itself is beautiful and breath-taking ❤️ the exhibitions I had chance to see were honestly well done and interesting. Entry on Thursdays is free of charge. Great museum with modern art and perfect idea for a raing day. Make sure to not miss the benches in front of the exit.
One of the best and most affordable modern art galleries in Warsaw. Tickets are only 15PLN as of April 2025 and the exhibit space is quite big. What you'll see is hit and miss; there's a lot of garbage that comes with modern art, but there are some gems. Beyond the exhibits there's an eclectic bookstore, a hip cafe, cinema, and some semi-public toilets in the basement which you can visit for free.
It was the opening of as many as 3 exhibitions - there were so many people that it was impossible to see anything, so I played a game - I tried to drink wine sneakily so that the guards would not see, and my dog almost drank the blood of Katia Libkind, but thank the guards for their vigilance!
Entry is through the bookstore, and it's like passing through a secret passage I those fantasy movies. Admission is free on Thursdays. There are always some interesting works at display. In the summer, there are probably more outdoors exhibitions, but you could always find something to your taste. Thank you for supporting Ukraine!
