Palace of Art in Krakow
Palace of Arts
The Palace of Arts was erected in 1901 for the Society of Fine Arts Friends. Krakow's  first Art Nouveau building has remained one of the most prestigious exhibition venues in the city. Once mostly works of established value can be seen here yet nowadays purely commercial events also happen.

Bunker of Arts
A modern exhibition hall of gray concrete amid ancient landmarks of Krakow’s historic Old Town district, has been dubbed “the bunker” before long.

Piwnica Pod Baranami Cabaret Company
It might have happened in Krakow alone that a cabaret was elevated to the rank and authority of a national institution. Sure, since its birth in 1956 the Piwnica Pod Baranami in the cellar of the Pod Baranami palace at 27 Grand Square has been a very special brand of high-brow entertainment: a literary variety show with poetic songs and mostly pure-nonsense humor (both being its hallmarks till now). And the cabaret company of Piwnica Pod Baranami has proved over the past four decades a magnet for outstanding personalities of at least three generations.
