Villa Gallery, otherwise known as 'Kindermann’s Villa' is one part of the City Art Gallery which has a long history dating back to 1924 - the oldest cultural institute in Łódź. The building used as the HQ since 1975 is a fine Art Nouveau villa, built between 1902/03 by local architect Gustaw Landau-Gutenteger for the industrialist Leopold Kindermann. Day-to-day, the gallery presents Polish and international comprehensive exhibitions across the mediums, and since 1979 it has held the international exhibition of graphic art. One tip from us, even before going in for a visit, take in the extraordinary detail of the building from the outside - inside it just gets better with the organic flow of every little detail on the windows to the fine marble fireplace.
