Updated scheme of TR Warszawa:

The Museum of Modern Art Warsaw and TR Warszawa Theatre form the new cultural center of the city of Warsaw. The cultural complex
is located in Plac Defilad at the base of the Palace of Culture and Science, a Soviet era skyscraper, on a 22-acre site that connects the
city and the public Park Swietokrzyski.

The national TR Warszawa Theatre has an articulated, dark steel facade. The theater building is designed to accommodate over 800
seated guests at four stages and two large rehearsal rooms. In addition to performance areas, the project includes administrative offices, costume and set shops, restaurant, and a cafe. The theater has a set of large garage style doors at the ground level opening to the public and the adjacent square. The museum and theater buildings connect across an intimate public space. The Museum of Modern Art Warsaw and TR Warszawa Theatre constitute the national arts precinct of Warsaw, giving a contemporary forum to the rich cultural heritage of the city.
