The Pavilion is a municipal structure combining the exhibition and conference purposes. It exposes three stained glasses which were designed for the Wawel Cathedral by Stanisław Wyspiański. The elongated form of the building with its rounded corner is inscribed into the narrowest lot of the Old Town. Its decorative façade, composed of ceramic elements on moveable steel rods allows both for modifications of lighting in the interior and for transparency of the building seen from the outside. The whole has a structurally consequent character and at the same time it is a perfect frame for the timeless works of art. It is the first new building realised in the Old Town after the year 1939.
