Located in a gorgeous ivy-covered Dutch Neo-Renaissance building from the 19th century, Wrocław's National Museum houses one of the largest collections of Polish art. This year marks the museum's 70th anniversary, and to celebrate a fifth permanent exhibition is in the works: masterpieces of Western and Eastern handicraft will be displayed in the building's attic. The other four permanent exhibits are: Silesian Art of the 12-16th centuries (including lots of stone sculpture work and medieval religious art), Silesian Art of the 16-19th centuries (covering the Renaissance up to the beginnings of Modernism), Polish Art of the same period (including national artefacts and historical paintings by Gierymski, Grottger, Malczewski and Matejko), and European Art of the 15-20th centuries (following the leading artistic movements with work by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Agnolo Bronzino, Cosimo Rosselli, Raphael’s father Giovanni Santi, and Wassily Kandinsky). While the collections may not be the best in Europe, the interior is breathtaking, and there is a certain aura to the setting that makes this a must for art history buffs.
