Four-domed pavilion

South view

The four-domed pavilion (Polish: Pawilon Czterech Kopuł ) is an exhibition building built from 1911 to 1913 for the Wroclaw Centenary Exhibition in 1913 , designed by the architect Hans Poelzig . The building has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006 .

The building on the exhibition grounds not far from the Wroclaw Centennial Hall was built by the construction company Schlesische Beton-Baugesellschaft . In the inner courtyard there was a Pallas Athene fountain, a joint work of the sculptor Robert Bednorz and the architect Hans Poelzig.

After the Second World War , the pavilion served as the reception hall for the Wroclaw film company.

Since the building was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2006, it was given to the Wroclaw National Museum. It was decided to completely restore the original condition, including the removal of all subsequent modifications. The renovation work has now been completed. The Museum of Contemporary Art - as a branch of the National Museum - opened in the pavilion on June 25, 2016.
