How can you offer support? Help with the Museum
Here are some tried and trusted ideas for helping organized by initiatives associated with the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw:
Support financially:
1. Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw in solidarity with Ukraine!
Support our aid centre.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 the number of war refugees in Poland has exceeded two million. The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw has established a charity programme. The museum headquarters at Pańska 3 have been transformed into a safe space for refugees, providing meals and beverages, psychological support, workshops for children and adults.
The aid center in the museum has been created in a collaboration with the artistic collective Blyzkist, which consists of Ukrainian and Belarusian artists and activists.
Initially, the collective delivered thousands of sandwiches, hot meals and hygiene products to refugee centers, night shelters and information points at Warsaw train stations every day. Currently the activities evolve into workshops, educational and artistic initiatives with and by refugee women and refugees.
Donations can be made to the account of the Society of Friends of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
