Wrocław Neon Gallery

it is the effect of Tomasz Kosmalski's work. The first neon – a signboard of a confectionery shop at Nowowiejska Street, installed for scrap, bought in 2005.

This is how the Neon Side Wrocław foundation was created, whose mission was to save the original advertisement of the border from destruction and oblivion.

To date, nearly 100 neon signs from various regions of Wrocław and the entire Lower Silesian Voivodeship have been protected.

The choice of the location of the center of Wrocław's neon signs is not strange. The Neon Side Gallery operates in the place where in the 1960s the company Reklamaspecial light signboards operated. 

So it can be corrected that the history of Wrocław's neon signs has come full circle.
