WOK Lab

 


 

Marszałkowska 34/50

The WOK Lab is an exciting space spanning an area of nearly 600 m2 across three floors in the arcade building at ul. Marszałkowska 34/50, situated in the heart of the MDM (Marszałkowska Residential District). The building is a stunning example of monumental architecture that dates back to the 1950s, with some of the original interior design elements still intact. The Lab neighbours the Monopol and Biuro Wystaw Artystycznych (BWA) art galleries located in the former retail stores.

Upon entering the WOK Lab, you are welcomed into a warm and inviting space that is perfect for hosting meetings, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, rehearsals, and performance activities. The ground floor and first floor can be transformed to cater to the specific needs of each event. The area is furnished with comfortable armchairs, cushions, lush greenery, and an abundance of books. The Lab’s windows face Marszałkowska Street, making it easy to showcase exhibitions to the outside world. The basement serves as a storage space.

There are two staircases leading up to the first floor: an internal one located on the premises of the WOK Lab and an external staircase that we share with the Monopol and BWA galleries. Unfortunately, there is no lift available in the building. The WOK Lab is an animal-friendly space; assistance dogs and guide dogs are especially welcome. The ground floor of the WOK Lab is fully accessible to people with reduced mobility. A wheelchair ramp allowsaccess to the arcade space from the pl. Konstytucji side. The Lab space located on the first floor and in the basement are not accessible to people with reduced mobility. One of the toilets accessible to wheelchair users has enough space for prams and strollers and is equipped with a baby changing station.

The closest publicly accessible bicycle racks are available at pl. Konstytucji. Parking spaces for people with reduced mobility marked with the wheelchair symbol are available at ul. Marszałkowska, directly in front of the entrance to the WOK Lab.
