<p>The Palace of Art in Cracow is the headquarters of the Society of Friendsóof Fine Arts – the oldest in this part of Europe, established in 1854. After years of trying tong the creation of a new headquarters, necessitated by the limited­ness of the site, after considering numerous concepts, the Society received a site for the Palace on the edge of Szczepanski Square in 1897 in exchange for „Lituania” Grott­gera. The Palace of Arts is an outstanding example of the integration of architecture, sculpture and ornamentation. The jointócooperation of rós artists, resulted in a work of art with a compact and harmonious structure. This was determined by the occurrence of several arts within a single building, united by the uniform characteristics of the individualól elements, variously called­art nouveau, modernism and symbolism.</p> <p>Palace of Art<br /> Szczepański Square 4, 31-011 Kraków<br /> tel./fax: + 48 12 422 66 16<br /> mob.: + 48 501 45 12 52<br /> biuro@palac-sztuki.krakow.pl<br /> Opening hours:<br /> Monday – Friday: 8.15 am – 6 pm<br /> Saturday – Sunday: 10.00 am – 6.00 pm</p>
