Galeria Olympia is an art gallery in Cracow, Poland established in 1999, that shows works by contemporary artists. Its name refers to the name of the founder, Olimpia Maciejewska,[1] and to the title of a 1863 painting by Edouard Manet.[2] The gallery is located at Limanowskiego 24/4b in Kraków.
Activity
Galeria Olympia was established on 4 June 1999. It was located at Koletek Street until 2001, then it was moved several times. Since 2013 it ran in the Podgórze district, at Limanowskiego Street 24/4b. In 2022 the gallery moved to the new address, Szlak 13 Street. In 2025, the gallery returned to Limanowskiego 24/4b.
The gallery is run by Fred Gijbels Foundation. Each year it organises various solo exhibitions and at least one group exhibition focusing on a given issue.
