Welcome to Lodz!
Living in Lodz – the third largest city in Poland, a hub of creative industries and a vibrant academic centre – provides international students with numerous opportunities to take part in exciting high quality cultural events.
Museum of Contemporary Art, with its first in Europe collection of modern art, and the Central Museum of Textiles, host of the International Triennial of Tapestry, with the largest in Poland collection of fibre art, are both obligatory sites to visit. Textile tradition is very important for the city history and identity. The unique eclectic villas, palaces, residential areas and former factory buildings were all erected in 19th century – the golden era of textile industry, the driving force of the city development – when Lodz was the Promised Land for residents of four coexisting nations: Polish, German, Jewish and Russian.
Nowadays Lodz strengthens its position as Polish capital of fashion, design and new technologies by organising high-profile events such as internationally recognised Fashion Week Poland, Design Festival, International Festival of Comics and Games, Light Move Festival, or the Festival of Science, Art and Technology. By organising a popular Festival of Dialogue of Four Cultures the city refers to its multinational and multicultural tradition.
Lodz is also a centre of film art and production with its famous Film School (with graduates including Roman Polanski and Andrzej Wajda), the Film Museum and Se-Ma-For – one of the world’s best, Oscar winning, animation film studios.
Famous main artery of the city – Piotrkowska street with more than 100 clubs, pubs and discos offers Erasmus students great entertainment day and night. However, pub-crawling and clubbing face direct competition with the rich selection of cultural events: concerts of independent and major national and international music bands, art exhibitions, meetings, actions, excursions and urban games organised by art centres, art cafes, student associations, theatres, cinemas, galleries and museums.
Lodz is unique, mysterious, magical and inspiring – come over, have fun, create and discover Lodz for yourself!
