ABOUT LOCATION
Cracow Music Academy - a national music academy with the seat in Kraków, educating musicians at the undergraduate
(bachelor’s degree), graduate (master of arts degree) and post-graduate (doctoral degree) levels. It was founded as a
conservatory by the Music Society in Kraków. The Academy has changed its seat many times, e.g. from 1906 to 1914 the
Conservatory was located in the Art Nouveau building of Teatr Stary, during the First World War it moved to a tenement house
at Krasińskiego St. Only in 1921 it returned to its seat near Szczepański Sq. The academic year 1946/47 was inaugurated at 8
and 9 Basztowa St. Currently, the main seat is the old building of KW PZPR (Voivodeship Committee of the Polish United
Workers‘ Party) at 43 St Tomas St., designed by Ludwik Wojtyczko for the Commodities and Monetary Exchange and
completed in 1924. The bank operation hall and KW PZPR session hall were adapted into the Prof. Krystyna MoszumańskaNazar Concert Hall (150-200 seats) and the Prof. Marek Stachowski Chamber Hall (120 seats); on the mezzanine a recording
studio was opened (Electro-Acoustic Music Studio). The most important events of the Academy are held in the building of the
former Towarzystwo Wzajemnych Ubezpieczeń ‘Florianka’ (the Society of Mutual Insurance) at 6-8 Basztowa St.,whose fine
part was created in 1956. There are, among others, arcaded galleries, elongated vestibule, the former meeting hall (currently
the Bronisław Rutkowski Concert Hall), and the so-called Senate Hall.The view from the terrace on the sixth floor of the
Academy building, where a restaurant is located, with a panorama of the centre of Kraków, was used in Juliusz Machulski’s
film Vinci.
