The Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology stands at 26 Marii Konopnickiej Street in the Dębniki district of Kraków, Poland. Arata Isozaki donated the design to the foundation, and Krzysztof Ingarden, J. Ewy and JET Atelier collaborated on the Polish side. It opened on November 30, 1994.
The Kyoto-Kraków Foundation, which Andrzej Wajda and friends created, received the design and funding support. The article does not state a construction period, size, materials or style. The building contains exhibition rooms and conference rooms, and its roof was inspired by the sea in many old Japanese paintings.
The city of Kyoto donated the garden beside the building. The Polish Bonsai Club has its headquarters here. A 2006 competition named the building one of twenty notable examples of Polish architecture built after 1989.
