Arsenal is turning sixty – we wish to celebrate this milestone together with you, dear residents and friends of Białystok! Over six decades, Arsenal has been building a unique collection of contemporary art, showcasing it locally and in leading museums worldwide.

This exhibition offers not only a retrospective look at “Collection II”, assembled since 1990, but also a reflection on art as a witness to history and a vessel for memories, emotions, and ideas. Through works selected by curators Lena Prents and Tatiana Kochubinska, we will tell the story of Arsenal and its role in contemporary Polish culture.

This is a significant milestone for us, and we sincerely hope you will be part of this celebration!
