The Wladyslaw Hasior Gallery

If you've got the faintest of soft spots for the fantastical then don't miss this gallery at any cost. This is zany Polish fantasy at its best. Not all of Wladyslaw Hasior's art hits the bullseye, but he gives most contemporary artists a good run for their money. Hasior lived in Zakopane for many years, and he arranged this permament exhibition himself. It's located in an old sanatorium, and eerie retro music emanates from the speakers as you wander about. Hasior constructed his far out treasures from pretty much anything he could lay his hands on, and the results are often both enchanting and grotesque, with a good dollop of humour thrown in.

Definitely worth visiting!

Freaky place!

I'll second that. I think Tim Burton would like it here.

I'm not going to pretend that i "understood" all the meanings, metaphors, whatever, but this is definitely a mad place. Very freaky, but in a good way, if you catch my drift...!

Reviews perked our interests and we eventually found this. Worth the trip if you like weird!

Loved this place. Like a hostel that's been taken over by Dr. Frankenstein. Very out there....!

Amazing, uncanny, weird!!

He is my favourite artist in the world.~Great Imagine full of the Mysteries.~That,s Him for us...

My best place in Zakopane!

Funky little museum which is well worth a visit. Lots of ideas if you're a budding artist
