Polish Cultural Institute in London - Polish cultural institution in the capital of the United Kingdom under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland.[1]
Activities
The main purpose of the Institute is to fulfil the tasks of public diplomacy, i.e. to maintain good social, scientific and cultural relations between Poland and Great Britain.[2] The Institute organizes exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, book promotions, book translations, coordinates scientific and cultural exchange. The aim of the Institute is to disseminate knowledge about Poland: culture, art, science, history, economy, politics, sociology. The Institute's activity is also partly directed to the Polish community in the United Kingdom.
The Institute was established in 1938, but the first director was appointed 10 years later. From 2014, its seat is located on 10 Bouverie Street.[3] Before that, it was located at 52-53 Poland Street. Previously, it was located at 34 Portland Place[4] and 16 Devonshire Street. During the communist era, the Institute was boycotted by the British and the Polish community. Since 2003 the Institute has been organizing the Polish Film Festival "Kinoteka".[5]
