When I revisited Szczecin after more than 20 years, I was very pleased to see and visit the new Filharmonia. It is not just a beautiful new award winning building, but also signifies a bold decision of the local government to invest in cultural architecture in a new way. I soon found out that in most main Polish cities new museums, concert halls, conference centres and the like were built in the period after about 2010. After 2021 I made 5-6 trips on my motorcycle to Poland and visited all main cities to experience Polish new cultural architecture. My next trip will be to Warsaw, where the new  Museum of Modern Art has been opened, right in the heart of the city.
