Art galleries in Warsaw
Galleries are best taken slowly. Warsaw, Masovian has 50 mapped right now. That's 50 galleries mapped around Warsaw. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Opening nights are the cheat code — free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that actually wants to talk about the work.
This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Warsaw (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Muzeum Plakatu and SOA Gallery, plus Galeria XX1. If a gallery's missing from Warsaw's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about art galleries in Warsaw
23 of the 50 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — galleries keep proper public hours, so plan around the listed times.
16 have websites listed. That's where the current exhibition is announced — the one thing worth checking before you visit.
There's a cluster: 3 of them sit on 13 Generała Władysława Andersa, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.
16 galleries list websites — that's where the current exhibition is announced, and it's the one thing worth checking before you visit.
The Warsaw gallery walk
Making a day of it in Warsaw? Work this order: Muzeum Plakatu on 10/16 Stanisława Kostki Potockiego, SOA Gallery on 30 Grzybowska, Galeria XX1 on 36 Aleja Jana Pawła II, Aspekty on 18 Aleje Ujazdowskie, Miejsce Projektów Zachęty on 3 Konstantego Ildefonsa Gałczyńskiego, Galeria Brama Bielańska, Raster on 63 Wspólna, and Objekt. That's the gallery walk in one sensible loop, no backtracking. 42 more are listed below.
Gallery tips for Warsaw
A few things worth knowing before you work through Warsaw's art galleries:
- Follow the galleries online at Muzeum Plakatu. Openings and one-night events get announced on social media first. One follow catches them all.
- The bookshop corner is curated at SOA Gallery. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
- Note the curator's name. Good curators have taste you can follow. If you loved the show, look up what else they've put together.
- Check the exhibition schedule first. A gallery is only as good as its current show. Two minutes on the website saves a wasted trip between exhibitions.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Warsaw — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Warsaw can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 50 that's closed, or a great art gallery we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 50 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Art gallery listings for Warsaw: 50 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
