The National Museum in Wroclaw occupies the building designed by an architect Karl Friedrich Endell and erected in 1883 - 1886. The oldest collections stem from previous German museums and certain sacral objects of Wroc³aw and the Lower Silesia, as well as from Lvov collections conveyed to Poland in 1946 by the then Ukrainian authorities. Subsequently new collections were created, of the Polish contemporary art for instance; those already existing were completed too. The Museum holding encompasses over 120 thousand units of virtually all domains of art, ranging over mediaeval stone and wood sculpture, painting, drawing, prints and crafts, Silesian, Polish and foreign works of art.
