The largest of our four galleries, located on the mezzanine floor of The Main Railway Station in Wroclaw. The gallery’s programme is created in relation to the context of the site – a 19th-century modern transport terminal – and pursues themes such as travel, migration and communication. Contemporary art and post-artistic activities are presented here in relation to pressing socio-environmental issues such as climate catastrophe and post-industrial reality.
Palmiarnia is a new space in the place of the former BWA Wrocław Główny reception. These are two interconnected zones: one serves as an information point for the gallery with a book and poster shop, and the other is a place for meetings, lectures and presentations, as well as rest and relaxation among the greenery.
Palmiarnia serves as “The Third Place”, i.e. a public, neutral space that can be visited regardless of ongoing exhibitions. It’s open during the opening hours of the BWA Wrocław Główny gallery.
The BWA Wrocław Główny gallery also features a separate exhibition hall located opposite the entrance to the Palmiarnia. This is an additional 100 sqm dedicated to the local art community and is intended for the presentation of individual exhibitions (scholarship or diploma preentations) or smaller exhibitions of a collective nature. An exhibition or event proposal can be submitted via the application form located on our website.
