Due to its performance artistry, it is one of the most valuable monuments of theater architecture in Europe. On the pediment there is an inscription: "Krakow's national art". The interiors of the building are decorated with frescoes by the Viennese artist Anton Tuch and the famous curtain of Henryk Siemiradzki.

It was the birthplace of contemporary Polish directing, stage design, staging and acting. A generation of Young Poland artists debuted here - among them Stanisław Wyspiański.
