The Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology rents out spaces on two levels totalling some 500 square meters for conferences, workshops, demonstrations, concerts, theatrical performances, formal galas and corporate parties. The museum stands on a bend in the Vistula River in Kraków, across from Wawel Castle, and has a large garden and a riverside terrace where garden parties are possible. Two named contacts handle venue hire, and the museum asks to be contacted for every enquiry about hire.
Seminars and company events
The museum presents its spaces for corporate parties and functions, promotional events and conferences. It offers professional technical and other support during the event. The Multifunctional Auditorium is the natural room for a conference, a workshop or a demonstration, with the Entrance Hall and the Lobby serving for registration, coffee breaks and receptions. The pages read give no seating capacities and no equipment list, so ask the venue hire team for a technical sheet. The location on a bend of the river, across from Wawel Castle, is the museum's main argument for a reception or a gala.
Weddings and receptions
The pages read do not offer weddings. The museum lists formal galas and corporate parties, and the garden and the riverside terrace can host garden parties in suitable weather.
Rooms and capacities
The spaces are the Entrance Hall, the Multifunctional Auditorium and the Lobby, together with some 500 square meters on two levels, over 5,000 square feet. The garden and the terrace come in addition. No capacity by room is published on the main hire page, and the contact names are given for a quote. The museum is open daily except Mondays from 10 am to 6 pm, so private events are arranged around visiting hours.
Catering
The pages read do not describe catering. The museum has a cafe, Cafe Manggha. Ask whether outside caterers can serve an event.
Accommodation
There is no accommodation in the museum. Kraków has hotels throughout the old town and the Kazimierz district.
History and setting
The museum holds a collection of Japanese art and technology, and its architecture is a feature. Its complex includes a Japanese language school, a library, an archive of the director Andrzej Wajda and a Tea Pavilion. The site describes the location as one of the most beautiful in Kraków.

The museum is at ul. M. Konopnickiej 26, 30-302 Kraków, and the phone number is 12 267 27 03. The venue hire contacts are Daniel Seidler and Kuba Jurkowski, whose email addresses are on the hire page.
