MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow
About
The MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków invites visitors into a vibrant world of modern creative expression. Housed in a striking neomodern building on the historic site of the former Oskar Schindler factory, MOCAK showcases a dynamic collection that spans the late 20th and early 21st centuries, featuring bold works by both established masters and emerging talents. The museum’s programme is continually evolving, offering transient exhibitions on its first floor and 12‑hour‑long ‘House of Day’ and ‘House of Night’ installations that play with light and shadow to accentuate Radosław Kotarski’s masterpieces. Beyond exhibitions, the museum’s unique Mieczysław Porębski Library is an intellectual playground, providing specialised art references and archival materials for scholars and curious visitors alike. Educational workshops, guided tours, and interactive displays cater to families, students, and art enthusiasts, making MOCAK a culturally rich destination that welcomes all who seek inspiration.
