The Huta Sztuki Gallery of the C. K. Norwid Cultural Centre is a space dedicated to Kraków artists associated with Nowa Huta who created their works here in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The gallery refers to the “RYTM” Gallery, which operated during the Polish People’s Republic and aimed to integrate the artistic community of Nowa Huta and promote visual arts. It is a unique place where the history of the district can be discovered through art. The exhibition includes, among others, works of socialist realism, matter painting, as well as contemporary graphics and painting.
Until 8 August 2026, the gallery presents the exhibition
“House of Art. House of People. 70 Years of the Norwid Cultural Centre”, dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the former Factory House of Culture – today’s Norwid Cultural Centre – and to the history of the cultural institution established at the Lenin Steelworks (Kombinat). From 18 September, a new exhibition based on the gallery’s collection is planned, prepared with people with special needs in mind.
Estimated time of the visit: 30 min.
