Jerzy Ludwiński Archive at the Wroclaw Contemporary Museum is a permanent exhibition which presents the achievements and works of Jerzy Ludwiński, as well as some items that belonged to him. Ludwiński was one of the most important neo-avant-garde critics and theoreticians in the 1960s and the 1970s. He was a visionary, predicting the evolution of art in a post-art epoch. The exposition is completed with the works of artists befriended with Ludwiński or those who developed his ideas. Gathered materials belong to the Wroclaw Contemporary Museum and to the Zacheta Lower Silesian Fine Arts Association. At the same time, Jerzy Ludwiński Archive serves as a repository, as well as a research space, devoted to developing further reflection on current art.

The Collection of Jindřich Chalupecký at the Museum of Czech Literature testifies to the life of this important literary and art critic who was “banned” during the communist regime and it represents a valuable source documenting the entanglements between non-official Czechoslovak art and leading world artists and theoreticians. 

Krzysztof Skiba's archive is a private collection of photos, movies, zines, books, articles, and leaflets documenting the alternative culture phenomena that Skiba participated in during the 1980s. The majority of the collection covers the street happenings created by the Gallery of Maniacal Activities in Łódź, the activities of anarchist Alternative Society Movement in Gdańsk, the very first years of the punk cabaret Big Cyc, and the first exhibition of the third circuit papers and magazines co-organized by Skiba in 1989.
