After a long-awaited construction process, the new glistening, white building that's home to the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw is finally opening in the center of the city Oct. 25.



The newest location for this museum is a must-see, as it will offer a host of new, exciting exhibitions, starting with a dozen large-scale works by women—including historic works like Alina Szapocznikow’s Friendship and a large fiber work by internationally renowned artist Magdalena Abakanowicz. 
 

Taking up four storeys and 20,000 m2 (including over 4,000 m2 of gallery area), the museum was designed by the New York City-based architecture studio Thomas Phifer and features exhibition spaces, educational areas for lectures and workshops, conservation and restoration workshops, a cinema, an auditorium, a café, and a museum shop.

The Plac Defilad spot is now the primary home to the museum, which has had previous locations on the Vistula and on Pańska 3.
