After World War II, the majority of artistic activity in Bydgoszcz was concentrated in the Pomeranian Arts House, be it Opera, Theatre or exhibitions.
To gain independence and visibility, a dedicated building has been erected in 1970, thanks to the active support of, among others, Alexander Schmidt then President of the Bydgoscy Region, and Andrzej Szwalbe, director of the Pomeranian Philharmonic.
