The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw opened its new facility amid a backdrop of shifting political dynamics in Poland. Formerly under the conservative Law and Justice Party, which influenced cultural institutions, the museum is now led by Joanna Mytkowska. Her vision emphasizes a balanced presentation, as seen in the debut exhibition, The Impermanent, featuring 150 artworks addressing both liberal themes such as gay rights, and conservative topics like the legacies of Communism. Mytkowska's intention is to cater to a broader audience by providing simple descriptions for artworks, promoting open interpretation rather than politically charged statements.

Mytkowska emphasizes a commitment to neutrality in presentation, opting for simple descriptions of artworks rather than politically charged texts to encourage open interpretation.
