The Huta Sztuki Gallery of the C.K. Norwid Cultural Centre is dedicated to Kraków artists connected with Nowa Huta, who created their works here in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The gallery refers to the tradition of the RYTM Gallery, which operated in the communist times seeking to bring together Nowa Huta’s artistic community and promote the visual arts. It is a unique place where visitors can discover the history of the district through art. The exhibition includes works, examples of socialist realism, matter painting, and contemporary prints and paintings.

Until 8 August 2026, the gallery presents the exhibition House of Art. House of People. 70 Years of the Norwid Cultural Centre. It is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the former Lenin Steelworks’ House of Culture, renamed to C.K. Norwid Cultural Centre, and to the history of the cultural institution established at the Steelworks.

Planned for 18 September 2026 is the opening of a new exhibition based on the gallery’s collection, designed to be accessible to visitors with special needs.

Estimated visiting time: 30 min
