You’ll find us on the former grounds of the Gdańsk Shipyard. We collect photographic objects, organise temporary exhibitions, run educational programmes and conduct research into the archives of Polish and international artists. We collaborate with artists from Poland and abroad. Our projects range from those focused on the local context and contemporary issues to historically oriented projects.
