Centre of Polish Sculpture

The Polish Sculpture Center (Polish: Centrum Rzeźby Polskiej) in Orońsko, near Radom, Poland, is a museum housed at Józef Brandt’s 19th-century manor house. The Center’s collections comprise 621 sculptures, installations and other art forms owned by the Center, as well as 173 deposit items. The collections additionally include 70 paintings, drawings and tapestries. The Center's activities and the manor complex are maintained by the Joseph Brandt Foundation. The Center also provides technical support for artists who participate in its Sculpting Program.

Józef Brandt's manor house was built in the second half of the 19th century in an Italian neo-Renaissance style. It accommodates a permanent exhibit of 19th-century manor interiors. The ambience of a 19th-century country mansion is preserved in the furniture: Louis Philippe, Biedermeier and neo-Rococo pieces. Drawings and paintings by Józef Brandt, Jacek Malczewski, Juliusz Kossak, Apoloniusz Kędzierski and Alfred Schouppé, and sculptures by Pius Welloński and Feliks Georg Pffeifer, complement the exhibit.

The manor complex also includes an orangery, chapel, annex, granary, coach-house and stables. The orangery, built 1869, once served both as a hothouse and as Brandt's atelier. Today it is a venue for temporary exhibits. Changing exhibits are held in the old manor chapel, built 1841. The annex — created from the earliest Orońsko orangery — accommodates the Center's administration and the Friends of Sculpture. The coach-house, erected by Brandt in 1905, houses a permanent sculpture gallery. Since 1995 it has showcased Magdalena Abakanowicz’s Ukon, from her cycle, War Games. Brandt's stable has been adapted into six sculpting ateliers.
