This post is all about the MOCAK Museum in Krakow.
MOCAK
MOCAK is the Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow.
Opened in 2011, MOCAK prides itself on displaying pieces that have an emphasis on post-war avant-garde and conceptual art.
I know what you’re thinking.. Krakow is one of the most important and historical cities in Europe. Do you really want to spend your time in a contemporary art museum?
Honestly, YES! This was one of my favorite experiences in Krakow and I think it is well worth the visit.

Art With an Edge on Humanity
What I really loved about the art at MOCAK is it seamlessly blended visual arts, the digital age, and feelings of humanity.
Along with the “digital art age” very much being a present theme, there was also a lot of focus on feminine art as well – specifically beauty of women aging.
MOCAK is Worth Your Time in Krakow
Overall I was engaged and inspired throughout my time in the MOCAK museum.
I appreciated the specific themes it strived to represent and the relevancy of connecting art with modern topics and the digital age.
