The latest issue of the Zachęta Magazine is the first issue of the publication’s newest incarnation. Beginning from June 2021, the magazine has its own website, where we’ll publish première issues each month!

We are in the process of implementing one of the largest digitization projects of contemporary art collections in Poland! Find out more...

The programme consists of a series of lectures, film screenings preceded by lectures and a series of meetings with curators and artists from Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. Make sure to join us!

We invite you to the final lecture by Barbara Dąbrowska before the summer break. We will discuss the emergence of socialist realism in the Soviet Union and its influence in post-war Poland.

We invite you to visit Zachęta's current exhibitions with our guides. Guided tours take place at 12:15 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. and last approx. 50 minutes (limited number of places).

In the 28th issue of our online magazine, we remain in the sphere of education, albeit seen from a more environmentalist-cum-activist angle.

The theme of the 27^th issue of the Zachęta Online Magazine is education – or rather, what effects remain with our audience after our educational programme.

The 21^st issue digs into our film collection. The selected films speak volumes about the artists’ fascination with cinema and film genres, such as mock-document, horror, and animation.

The 19^th issue of our online magazine tells the story of Zachęta – both historical and contemporary – as seen through the prism of the people who have created this place.

In the 18^th issue of the magazine, we pull form our archives materials about sculptors and sculpture.

In the 17^th issue of the magazine, through our archives we talk about women: rebels, social activists, provocateurs and anarchists.

Mira Marcinów writes about a series of photos by Joanna Piotrowska documenting animal cages and enclosures. Her essay opens the 6^th issue of the Magazine, devoted not only to animal themes.
