Raster Gallery

What to expect

Raster Gallery (Galeria Raster) is a private contemporary art gallery at ul. Wspólna 63 in Śródmieście, a nine-minute walk from Warszawa Centralna station: a place to drop into in passing, not one to build a whole day around. It has been running since 2001, and at its current address since September 2011.

It is a private gallery, not a museum, so what you see depends on what the gallery happens to be showing on its walls and in its garden. Raster has its own page among the Warsaw Gallery Weekend venues, and the hours given there match those on the gallery’s own website.

On Google Maps the gallery is rated 4.7 from 139 reviews. The ten most recent, written between a week and six months before 7 November 2026, come out clearly weaker: five give five stars, but three give only two. Visitors describe a small display, a few sculptures in the garden and a few photographs on the walls, and their ratings show that this art divides opinion.

Who it is for: people who follow Warsaw’s contemporary art scene and do the rounds of private galleries, and travellers with half an hour to spare before a train from Warszawa Centralna.

How long: an estimated 15-30 minutes, since visitors describe a few sculptures and a few photographs rather than many rooms. With the walk from the station and back, it fits into an hour.

Who should skip it: anyone looking for a museum for a longer visit, or coming from far away just for one gallery. Three two-star ratings among the ten most recent reviews suggest treating Raster as a stop on your route, not the goal of a trip.

Tips

• Check for a notice before you set out. The gallery announces breaks in opening on its contact page, in the English version too. The current notice, if there is one, appears in the practical box.
• Hours from three sources. Raster is open Tue-Sat 12:00-18:00. The gallery’s Polish and English pages and the Warsaw Gallery Weekend website all say the same.
• Ask about entry and accessibility. The gallery’s contact pages say nothing about admission or about access for wheelchair users. Before your visit, write to info@rastergallery.com or call +48 784 588 854.
• Look into the garden. In Google Maps reviews, visitors write about sculptures in the gallery’s garden, so don’t stop at the rooms indoors.

Getting there

Raster Gallery is at ul. Wspólna 63 in Śródmieście, the very centre of Warsaw, near Warszawa Centralna station.

On foot: from Warszawa Centralna (Dworzec Centralny), Google Maps suggests no public transport, only a walk: about 9 minutes, 650 m, along Aleje Jerozolimskie, ul. Emilii Plater and ul. Wspólna.

In the neighbourhood

• Warsaw University of Technology Museum - ul. Nowowiejska 21/25, 00-665 Warszawa, about 670 m. A museum of the university’s history, since October 2025 in the ITC building, with a permanent exhibition opened in June 2026: mementoes of Stanisław Staszic, a timeline and, in the hall, a steam boiler and a de Laval turbine.
• National Museum in Warsaw - Al. Jerozolimskie 3, 00-495 Warszawa, about 1.2 km. One of the largest museums in Poland, with the Faras Gallery of Nubian art and art from antiquity to Polish design; it is the counterweight to a short visit to Raster, as one of the most recent Google Maps reviews speaks of a visit of a good few hours.
