NOMUS is Poland’s youngest museum of modern art, operating as a branch of the National Museum in Gdańsk, Department of Modern Art. They have created a visitor-friendly space in a former school workshop building on the historic premises of Gdańsk Shipyard. Their goal is to communicate the contemporary world through the medium of art and bringing art closer to the viewer, in a way that can make it understandable and accessible to all.

Besides exhibition rooms, the NOMUS building includes a space called Friends from the Seaside, designed for meetings and community work, with a café, a sensory play corner for kids and a book shop. The ground floor features film screenings, live events, discussions and concerts. Their reading room has books on modern art available for study, while the education room offers classes and workshops. NOMUS's ambition is to research and write the history of art from a local perspective and place it within the network of the global phenomena that determine the contemporary human condition.
