Subject: [OM] IMG: Wroclaw art
My weeklong trip to Belgium, Germany and Poland during the penultimate week of
June ended in the city of Wroclaw in south-western Poland, the place where I
was born and where my sister lives. I spent a weekend there, the weather was
good, the days are long this time of year, so despite the short visit I took a
lot of pictures. Wroclaw is a city of about 700,000 people with a large
university and an international ambience. A lot of foreign investment has
poured into the city since 1989, and it shows: new shopping malls, an Amazon
distribution centre outside the city, lots of other companies creating jobs.
But also restoration of old parts of the city, a new university campus near my
sister s place, new art galleries the latter spurred on by Wroclaw being the
European Capital of Culture in 2016. As usual, I spent a lot of time looking at
art, in a couple of places: a WWII bunker that is now a modern art gallery (and
which I always visit), and a newly restored place called Four Domes Pa
villon near the Century Tower. It used to be a film studio, where people like
Andrzej Wajda made films back in the 1950s and 1960s. It then fell into
disrepair, but has now been beautifully restored and turned into a branch of
the national art museum, focusing on contemporary art. Just my thing!
Ninety-one images from a place most of you have never visited:
