Book Institute
The Book Institute is a Polish national cultural institution that was opened on 11 January 2004 in Krakow, Poland.
History[edit]
The establishment of the Book Institute was initiated by the Minister of Culture, Waldemar Dąbrowski. The institution includes Polish literature.[1]
At the time of its inauguration, the Book Institute operated in the Villa Decius, and after renovation, it moved to the building at 1 Szczepańska Street. In 2015, it moved to a historic building purchased from Radio Kraków at 6 Wróblewskiego Street.[2][3]
On 1 April 2010, the Book Institute took over the publishing of magazines under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
Since 2005, the Book Institute has funded the "Transatlantyk" award in the amount of €10,000, awarded to ambassadors of Polish literature abroad. The award was presented for the first time during the Congress of Translators of Polish Literature in Krakow on 2005.[4]
