Center of Polish Sculpture

The ambiance of a 19th-century country mansion is preserved in the furniture: Louis Philippe, Biedermeier and neo-Rococo pieces.

Drawings and paintings by Józef Brandt, Jacek Malczewski, Juliusz Kossak, Apoloniusz Kędzierski and Alfred Schouppé, and sculptures by Pius Welloński and Feliks Georg Pffeifer, complement the exhibit.

The annex — created from the earliest Orońsko orangery — accommodates the centre's administration and the Friends of Sculpture.

The year 1981 saw the establishment, with Ministry of Art and Culture support, of a state Museum and Centre of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko.

The centre's holdings include works by Magdalena Abakanowicz, Mirosław Bałka, Krzysztof M. Bednarski, Jan Berdyszak, Tadashi Hashimoto, Władysław Hasior, Maria Jarema, Grzegorz Klaman, Katarzyna Kobro, Zofia Kulik, Teresa Murak, Adam Myjak, Jan de Weryha-Wysoczanski and Józef Szajna.

The centre's Sculpting Program offers the availability of 6 ateliers, a 5,200 m2 work yard, and technical workshops for metalworking, woodworking, ceramics, foundry-work and conservation.
