Culture in Poznań

Culture

The Henryk Sienkiewicz of Polish painting

Late October will mark the opening of an exhibition of nearly 300 works by Józef Brandt at the National Museum of Poznań, featuring oil paintings, aquarelles, studies, and drawings.

36. Ale Kino! International Young Audience Film Festival

The Ale Kino! International Young Audience Film Festival dates back to the 1960s. What began as an exclusively national event evolved into an international affair by the mid-1990s. Today, Ale Kino! features films from around the world that bring home the richness and diversity of children's and teen movie productions.

Christmas nostalgia

With the arrival of autumn in Poznań, people who only a few months ago relished in the carefree atmosphere of summer music festivals, scurry around in scarves and hats. Even the autumn season though has much to offer. The November Nostalgia Festival will provide an opportunity to meet a variety of contemporary artists from various parts of the music scene.

St. Martin Street Nameday

Ul. Święty Marcin (Saint Martin Street) is the main thoroughfare across the centre of Poznań, which runs all the way to the Old Town past the historic Imperial Castle and the modernist Alfa skyscrapers.

A hundred years on

The national flag, flown from public buildings for months now, serves as a daily reminder of one very special anniversary: the centennial of Poland's independence, whose celebrations will culminate in November.

Where to go? What to see?

Poznań has seen scores of festivals over the years. Proven formulas and remarkable locations ensure high turnouts of visitors from Poznań and beyond. During the spring and summer seasons, Poznań offers events that are either open-air, which is the majority, or housed in extraordinary venues.
