The 7 Best Art Galleries in Zakopane, Southern Poland

June 29, 2021 Lashaunda Abraham

Just a few miles from the Slovak border in south central Poland, Zakopane is a resort town in the Tatra Mountains, popular with skiers in winter and with hikers and climbers year-round. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Zakopane grew into Poland’s most visible art colony, a hotbed of culture ended by Soviet influence after World War II. Today it harkens back to an earlier time, complete with gorgeous wooden houses. Learn about these buildings and more at the Museum of Zakopane Style.

Art Gallery in Koziniec

The Art Gallery, dedicated to Wlodzimierz and Jerzy Kulczycki, is located in the vicinity of the famous House Pod Jedlami [Under the Firs], in a brick building in manorial style erected in the early 1920s by the Koziański family. Purchased from the family heirs by the Bureau of the Cabinet after World War II, the Koziański House served in the People's Poland as a rep-resentative residence visited by those in power including Prime Minister Józef Cyrankiewicz, which accounts for the then popular name of the building, 'Cyrankiewiczówka'. Following the exertions of some of the Tatra Museum staff, in 1981 the municipal authorities conveyed the building to the museum with a view to converting it into a gallery of eastern carpets of an earlier donation made by Jerzy Kulczycki's widow, Anna Piotrowicz-Kulczycka. The Kulczycki Gallery is first and foremost at the service of the Art Department. Collections, which are not part of the museum's permanent exhibitions, are put on show here. This is carried out within such thematic series as e.g. the 'Tatra Landscape: The Tatra Mountains and the Region of Podhale in Watercolour' or 'Portraits in the Collection of the Tatra Museum'.

Willa Oksza - Tatra Museum

The exhibition presents the output of the artistic community and artists who were temporarily connected with Zakopane at a time when the village was Poland’s leading centre of artistic excellence. All of them drew inspiration from the Tatra mountains and the Tatra Highlander culture. The display is presented in the interiors of Oksza villa, designed by Stanisław Witkiewicz in 1894 in the Zakopane Style, which was restored by the Tatra Museum in 2010. The exhibition „Artists and Art in Zakopane” is based on the Tatra Museum’s own collection, complemented by a few loans. It embraces painting, graphic arts, drawing, sculpture and photography, as well as applied arts and posters. The display includes artworks by Leon Wyczołkowski, Wojciech Weiss, Zofia Stryjenska, Jan Rembowski, Rafał Malczewski, Stanisław Gałek and Jan Gasienica Szostak; psychological portraits by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz; sculptures by Konstanty Laszczka, Wojciech Brzega, Stanisław Sobczak, Jan Szczepkowski and pupils of the School of Wood Crafts; kilims and lacework, artistic woodcarving and many others exhibits.
