Krakow's Manggha Center of Japanese Art and Technology 

Krakow’s outpost of the Japanese creativity and ingenuity opened at 26 Konopnickiej street in 1994 as the Manggha Center of Japanese Art and Technology. Renamed Museum of Japanese Art and Technology "Manggha", it remains the biggest institution promoting Japan's culture in the whole Central and Eastern Europe. 

 

The Center of Japanese Art and Technology is a brainchild of Andrzej Wajda, the renowned Oscar-awarded Polish film maker, who also contributed his 340,000 US dollars Kyoto city award and helped to raise the outstanding 5.5 million dollars to erect it.

The wave-shaped building of the Manghha Museum on the bank of the Wisla river just opposite the Wawel Hill was designed by Arata Isozaki, Japan's prominent architect.

The Manggha Center organizes various temporary exhibitions, concerts, presentations, etc., pertaining mostly but not exclusively to Japan’s national heritage or its present-day achievements. Its modern auditorium is a popular venue for concerts of classical music and jazz as well as conferences in Krakow
