Kulczyk's Autobiography: Warsaw and Poznań Did Not Want a Museum and a Collection Worth About 100 Million Euros

Grażyna Kulczyk's autobiography "Budując" emphasizes her passion for art over business success. Despite her significant art collection, efforts to establish a contemporary art museum in Warsaw faced bureaucratic obstacles. Kulczyk proposed to build the museum herself, but the city government, led by Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, failed to engage in meaningful discussions. Ultimately, Kulczyk's collection is now housed in a museum in Susch, Switzerland, highlighting the missed opportunity for Warsaw. The book also touches on her personal life, including her marriage to Jan Kulczyk and her pursuit of independence.
