Wrocław Contemporary Museum (Polish: Muzeum Współczene Wrocław; MWW), established in 2011 has been developing social relations with contemporary art by exhibitions, educational events, expanding its art collection.[1]
Wrocław Contemporary Museum exhibition program focuses on promoting and popularizing local, progressive and recent phenomena of contemporary art.[2] The MWW collection has been created since 2011.[3] Its inventory in 2019 amounted to 318 objects by Polish and foreign artists. Its concept is based on the legacy of Jerzy Ludwiński, his combination of conceptual art practice and social debate.
Headquarters[]
The shelter on Strzegomski Square was originally intended as a temporary home for the Museum.[4][5] It is the largest of the five air-raid shelters[6] built in Breslau in the 1940s, designed by Richard Konwiarz, the German architect who designed the Berlin Olympic Stadium. It is a six-storey building with a reinforced concrete structure; the outer walls of the structure are over one meter thick, and the ceiling is one and a half meters thick. The German architect's shelters referred to the imperial style and to Napoleonic architecture, probably deliberately so as not to betray their function.
