Construction of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw has entered a new phase. The investment, designed by an American architectural firm, will premiere in two years.
The Museum of Modern Art will be located on the north side of Defilad Square, on Marszałkowska Street, and will be a key element of the New Center of Warsaw. The opening of the new facility is scheduled for 2023. The architectural design of the MSN was created in the American studio Thomas Phifer and Partners, and Warbud is responsible for the construction works.
At the museum construction site, the foundations and underground and first-floor structures have been completed. Installation and finishing works are currently underway in these areas. The contractor is also already working on the construction of the overground stories. At level +1, where the art galleries will be located, work is in progress on pouring white architectural concrete for vertical elements and on formwork and reinforcement for the ceiling.
The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw will be a four-story building with a total area of approx. 20,000 square meters. In addition to exhibition space, the new facility will also house a cinema, an auditorium, educational rooms, restoration workshops, and cafés. The new Warsaw museum will be built on a rectangular plan with its longer side adjacent to Marszałkowska Street.
