Wrocław Contemporary Museum (Polish: Muzeum Współczene Wrocław; MWW), is a museum located in Wrocław, Poland. It was established in 2011. It develops relations with contemporary artists by exhibitions and educational events, while expanding its art collection.[1]

Exhibitions

The museum's exhibition program focuses on promoting and popularizing local, progressive and recent phenomena of contemporary art.[2] Its collection in 2019 amounted to 318 objects by Polish and foreign artists. Its concept is based on the legacy of Jerzy Ludwiński, and his combination of conceptual art practice and social debate.

Headquarters

The

Berlin Olympic Stadium
. It is a six-storey building of reinforced concrete. Its outer walls 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.
