Poland Palm in new hands

Public buildings
The most famous palm tree in Poland will be owned by the Museum of Modern Art. One of Warsaw's best-loved art installations will soon undergo a major overhaul.

The work Greetings from Jerozolimskie Avenue is known to the public as the palm tree at Warsaw's Rondo Gen. Charles de Gaulle. Thanks to a donation by Joanna Rajkowska, the author of the installation, the palm tree is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.

After 22 years, the object needs renovation. In autumn, the sculpture will undergo a major renovation, which will be completed with the opening of the new Museum of Modern Art building. The work will include the replacement of leaves and bark and the conservation of the sculpture's steel structure. The renovation is financed by the Orońsko Polish Sculpture Centre's programme ‘Sculpture in Public Space for the Independent - 2024’, from the budget of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

The new headquarters of the Museum of Modern Art is being built on Plac Defilad square, designed by New York architect Thomas Phifer. The building is due to be officially opened on 25 October.
