Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski boasts online that the Museum of Modern Art was visited by 55,000 people during its opening weekend. However, the building arouses mixed feelings among Warsaw residents, mainly because of its appearance, construction costs and the contents on display. Internet users recall that the construction of the museum cost the city PLN 670 million. “A work that became a source of inspiration for meme makers. One trumps the other. I like the one with MSN as xBox the best,” Sebastian Kaleta, a Law and Justice MP, wrote on the X website.
The capital’s mayor, Rafał Trzaskowski, boasted on social media that 55,000 people attended the opening of the Museum of Modern Art this weekend.
Half the Internet: Who Needs the Museum of Modern Art? People:
— he wrote on the X platform, adding a photo of people (crowd?) in the said facility.
The most expensive barracks in the world”
PiS MP Sebastian Kaleta noted that Rafał Trzaskowski’s flagship investment could be called “the most expensive barracks in the world.”
A museum tailor-made for Rafał Trzaskowski. 670 million for a barracks, which is already a source of inspiration for many artists. Memes. Cabarets and meme artists won’t go bankrupt with such authorities!
— he wrote on the X website and added a short video:
An avalanche of reactions
The mayor’s delight at the number of visitors did not go unnoticed by commentators. PiS MP Marcin Horała even published a telling meme.
Half the internet didn’t say, “Why would anyone need this?” Half of the Internet knows that these and other museums are needed – and that it is possible to build a building that will become a symbol of the city. So half of the Internet is angry with you, President @trzaskowski_ – and with the PLN 700 million block you placed in the most representative place in the capital
– summarized PiS MP Paweł Jabłoński.
Some even do it a thousand times.
– Marcin Kędryna ironized.
Things are serious with this half of the internet, my friend has checked
— also wrote MP Janusz Cieszyński.
45,000 in one day, at the opening of a fast food restaurant in Warsaw
– Marcin Kwaśniewski added.
I have one fundamental problem with the construction of the Museum of Modern Art. It’s not about spending large amounts of money. It’s not even about the fact that the exhibition (for public money) is dominated by left-wing artistic messages; it is a common trend in cultural institutions around the world. What irritates me first and foremost is the EASTERNITY of this abomination. Instead of focusing on an original work of Polish artistic vision, attempts were made to copy Western patterns in a clumsy, backward and kitschy way. It turned out disastrously – just like everything after December 13, 2023, when mediocre people with complexes towards the West built for us a dictatorship of idiots and a collapsing state with Eastern features.
– said Oskar Szafarowicz.
Art versus modern ‘art’. In modern art, the ability to convince the recipient that a rectangular block is beautiful has become an art. Either I’m blind or we’re going backwards
– Marcel Pająk noticed.
These are the same ones walking across the walkway. Now they go up the stairs
– wrote a Portal X user nicknamed Captain Jack Sparrow.
But Rafałek! Half of the internet consists of more than 18 million people. How does this compare to 50,000?

The curiosity effect. Brag about your attendance in a month
— noted by user Wąski.
