Łódź has one of the best museums of modern art in Poland. {{lang|pl|[[Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź|Muzeum Sztuki]]|italic=no}} has three branches, two of which (ms1 and ms2) display collections of 20th and 21st-century art. The newest addition to the museum, ms2 was opened in 2008 in the Manufaktura complex.<ref name="Krakowiak, p. 88">Krakowiak, p. 88.</ref> The unique collection of the Museum is presented in an unconventional way. Instead of a chronological lecture on the development of art, works of art representing various periods and movements are arranged into a story touching themes and motifs important for the contemporary public. The third branch of {{lang|pl|Muzeum Sztuki|italic=no}}, located in one of the city's many industrial palaces, also has more traditional art on display, presenting works by European and Polish masters such as [[Stanisław Wyspiański]] and [[Henryk Rodakowski]].<ref>Krakowiak, p 91</ref>[[File:Pałac Edwarda Herbsta.jpg|thumb|right|Herbst Palace, designed by [[Hilary Majewski]], an art gallery within a historical mansion, which holds paintings from all over Europe]]
