Instytut Adama Mickiewicza

The Adam Mickiewicz Institute is a government cultural institution. The Institute's activities are part of cultural diplomacy aimed at promoting Poland internationally.

Adam Mickiewicz Institute organises and participates in cultural exchange programs abroad working together with other foreign and international cultural institutions and organizations. Adam Mickiewicz Institute presents Poland's culture, past and present, with the support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Adam Mickiewicz Institute initiates and carries out cultural projects developed and implemented by a team of experts. It also has a track record of organising outstanding cultural events and has equally ambitious plans for the future. This year Adam Mickiewicz Institute carries out the cultural programme dedicated to the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Adam Mickiewicz Institute also publishes illustrated catalogues, programmes, folders, leaflets, calendars and multimedia recordings. We reach an important audience and the statistics prove it. So far, we have staged over 2300 cultural events in 23 countries, reaching an audience of nearly 14 million. Our website has readers from over 120 countries.

The web portal www.culture.pl is our Institute's multilingual information system about Polish culture. It contains news about events currently taking place in Poland and abroad, as well as a wealth of background material including biographies of prominent figures in Polish cultural history. Constantly undergoing change we hope it will become an enlightening introduction to the world of Polish culture.
