Stary Browar / Old Brewery ul. Półwiejska 32 I am not terribly keen on shopping centres, I’m proud that in my hometown we’ve got this amazing space and atmosphere that doesn’t give you the impression that it’s just about renting every possible square metre for the highest commercial rent. This is thanks to the fantastic architecture that brings together a post-industrial interior of the 19th century Hugger brewery and ultramodern technology and construction techniques. The Old Brewery is much more than a shopping mall or the new hotel. Grażyna Kulczyk, the owner, has turned it into a place for art lovers, who come en masse not only for the art exhibitions, but also the shows of modern dance, fashion and contemporary design. It’s a place I go every time I come to Poznań to visit my mum.
