On a pleasant Friday evening at Defilad Square, representatives of Greenfields were present. We observe the changing landscape of Warsaw and actively participate in returning revitalized, well-maintained urban areas to the city’s residents.
On one of the largest squares in Europe, covering 4.4 hectares, the new headquarters of Modern Museum of Art made its debut. Situated in the heart of the city, it was impossible not to notice the long queue stretching along Marszałkowska Street, composed of people from many generations. Each of them wanted to be part of this event.

Spaces designed by New York architect Thomasa Phifera are spacious, simple, bright, glass-filled, raw, and minimalist. The central feature of the interior is a monumental staircase.
MSN is intended to be a modern „Museum, not a Mausoleum” – a forum for meetings and communication, stage for artists and everyone. The building will be filled with artworks, dance performances, choreographic installations, film screenings and live shows.
The story of Modern Museum of Art creation has been long and challenging, but the most important thing is that it has finally came to the end.
