Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej Warsaw
Contemporary art
Writing about MSN (Museum of Modern Art) in Warsaw is not easy. Together with CSW, MSN is an outstanding museum for modern art, answering the need to present exhibitions on current topics and addressing the broader public in Warsaw and internationally.
The museum has not had an easy history regarding its location. It was based in ul. Pańska, in a former modernist furniture shop pavilion. In spring 2017, it moved (temporarily) to a location on the riverbank called Muzeum nad Wisłą (Museum on the Vistula river bank). As the museum states, the white-box building was inspired by the Viennese foundation Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary. The pavilion was designed by Adolf Krischanitz and served as a former seat of Kunsthalle Berlin between 2008-2010. Its next permanent seat is being built on Plac Piłsudskiego next to the Palace of Culture and Learning.
