Polish commentator Wojciech Cejrowski has voiced strong criticism of Warsaw’s new Museum of Modern Art, comparing it unfavorably to classical architecture and calling for drastic measures.
Cejrowski’s Take on Warsaw’s New Museum Design
Wojciech Cejrowski, a Polish commentator, criticized Warsaw’s recently opened Museum of Modern Art. In a discussion on Radio Wnet, he compared the structure to “a distorted refrigerator,” expressing frustration over its asymmetrical design and its contrast to classical architecture like the Zachęta building.
Comparing Old and New Architecture
Cejrowski displayed side-by-side images of the new museum and early 20th-century architectural landmarks, arguing that modern designs lack the balance and aesthetic appeal of traditional styles. He suggested drastic steps, calling for the building’s demolition and penalties for officials involved in its approval.
Public Reaction and Political Commentary
The museum’s appearance has drawn mixed responses, with Cejrowski’s sentiments echoed by other public figures. Some argue the building represents a costly mistake and a missed opportunity for a more visually appealing landmark. Cejrowski’s critique reflects broader debates in Poland about modernity in urban design and public spending.
