After years of planning and construction, the "Wyspianski 2000" Exhibition and Information Pavillion was finally unveiled during the celebration of 750 years of Krakow's location in summer 2007. The over 850 m2 building, designed by famed Polish architects Ingarden & Ewy, is to serve exhibition and information purposes by promoting the cultural and tourist attractions of Krakow and the Malopolska region. Perhaps the most significant part of the building are the stained glass windows by Stanislaw Wyspianski; originally designed for the Wawel Cathedral but rejected as being too risque, after over 100 years they've finally found their home.
