About the Copperplate Engraver’s House building
The Copperplate Engraver’s House is a four-storey medieval tenement house called “Hansel” at 1 Św. Mikołaja Street in Wrocław.
The Copperplate Engraver’s House is where an important Wroclavian artist Eugeniusz Get-Stankiewicz (Honorary Citizen of Wrocław) lived and worked. All floors of the building showcase his copperplate engravings, posters and a permanent exhibition of “Rebuses” made in copperplate technique.

The Copperplate Engraver’s House has been a gallery since 2012 and has already hosted over 130 exhibitions featuring about 300 artists from all over the world.
The institution specialises in printmaking exhibitions, presenting also drawing, painting, posters, fashion collections, installations, photography, graphic design, ceramics, glass, sculpture, books, arts and crafts, textiles, museum and collector objects. The exhibitions are accompanied by official openings and exhibition catalogues.
