                   Not  far  from  our  School,  about  500  meters,  on  the  other  side  of  the

                   main  street,  on  the  Vistula  River,  opposite  the  Wawel  Castle,  the

                   Manggha  Museum  of  Japanese  Art  and  Technology  has  its

                   headquarters.



                   It was established on the initiative of prominent Polish director Andrzej

                   Wajda and opened in 1994 as the Manggha Center for Japanese Art and

                   Technology. For the first ten years of its existence, it was a branch of

                   the  National  Museum  in  Cracow,  while  also  being  the  site  of  active

                   activities  of  the  Andrzej  Wajda  and  Krystyna  Zachwatowicz  Kyoto-

                   Cracow Foundation.



                   In 2005, made independent by a decision of the Minister of Culture, it

                   received the status of a state cultural institution, and since 2007 it has

                   operated as a museum.
