Created since 2004 in the center of Katowice, the “Art Gallery” is a collection of sculptural portraits of outstanding creators of culture associated with the city and the upper Silesian region. it has the form of a linear monument supplemented every year with new sculptures of figures chosen by the inhabitants of the city and the region. it is a space of memory, but also a contemporary “didactic park”. it complements the nearby “culture zone”, also known as the Silesian Akropolis, created on the site of the former mine.
