130 years of the Victoria Theatre – celebrating a history that lives on

The year 2026 marks the 130th anniversary of the Victoria Theatre, one of the most extraordinary cultural venues in Gliwice. Since 1896, the Victoria has been an integral part of the city’s history: from its days as the municipal theatre, through the destruction of the war and years of silence, to today’s Ruins – a unique space for encounters with art.

The austere architecture, unique atmosphere and vivid memory of the past set the stage for contemporary artistic events. This anniversary is the perfect moment to rediscover Victoria as a symbol of a resurgent culture, creativity and dialogue with history.

Join us in celebrating the 130th anniversary of the Victoria Theatre, a place that continues to inspire.
