Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology

The history of the Manggha Centre/Museum of Japanese Art and Technology is a history of several people to whom Japan, its art, culture and technology are an ideal worthy of study; it is also a history of a series of small events, auspicious circumstances and good spirits, both Polish and Japanese. In 1988, the Kyoto-Krakow Foundation was formed on the initiative of Andrzej Wajda and Krystyna Zachwatowicz-Wajda. Its first declared object was to "erect and arrange rooms in Krakow to accommodate the collections of Japanese art owned by the National Museum in Krakow."
