\u2013 The entire Old Town is dominated by a monoculture of hotels and restaurants, so every culture-creating initiative in this area is worth its weight in gold and must be supported, whether it be the Kino Pod Baranami cinema, activities at the Potocki Palace, the National Museum in the Sukiennice, the Museum of Krak\u00f3w, or the newly opened caf\u00e9 run by the Polish Music Publishing House. If we want to counteract the \u2018McDonaldisation\u2019 of the Old Town, then such measures must be taken \u2013 emphasised the director of the MCK in an interview with Anna Pi\u0105tkowska of \u201cGazeta Krakowska\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will change at the ICC\u2019s headquarters?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agata W\u0105sowska-Pawlik outlined to readers the changes currently taking place in the historic Ravens House. She noted that the ground floor of the building is set to become the ICC\u2019s showcase and enable a more complete opening onto the Market Square. Thanks to this, as the director pointed out, the cultural function of our tenement house will become clearer, and perhaps more people will find out what our institution does and come to the ICC for new exhibitions, meetings or debates. A new meeting place will be created \u2013 suitable for both individual and social gatherings \u2013 as well as a space for organising events and a bookshop where visitors can browse our publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 What will we have in store for the public in 2027?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Thanks to funding received from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate and the Environment 2021\u20132027 (FEnIKS) programme, we will be able to modernise and adapt parts of the building to meet contemporary needs, improve safety for visitors and the works of art on display, whilst respecting its historical character. Like any cultural institution, we need a more welcoming reception area, which serves as the first point of contact with our visitors \u2013 emphasised the director of the ICC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agata W\u0105sowska-Pawlik also spoke about the plans and new projects the ICC team is already working on: preparations for next year\u2019s European Cultural Heritage Summit, organised annually by the Europa Nostra network and combined with the ceremonial presentation of the European Heritage Awards\/ Europa Nostra Awards, and exhibitions exploring, amongst other things, the turbulent history of Galician oil, postmodernism in Central European architecture, and the work of the Ukrainian sculptor and painter Alexander Archipenko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
