The Wladyslaw Hasior Gallery is housed in a wooden building dating back to 1935, which was originally constructed as a place for the Warszawianka Hotel to store its win. The gallery opened in 1985 and is devoted to the works of Wladyslaw Hasior (1928-1999), a graduate of the Zakopane School of the Fine Arts and Warsaw Fine Arts Academy. In 1959, he also studied under Ossip Zadkine in Paris. In Poland, Hasior's works can be seen in museums in Krakow, Warsaw, Lodz, Poznan, Szczecin, Wroclaw, Bydgoszcz, Lublin, Nowy Sacz and Zakopane; abroad, his works are on display in museums in Helsinki, Paris, Stockholm, Oslo, S‹o Paulo, Rome, Milan, Edinburgh, Bochum, Duisburg and Amsterdam. There are a large number of Hasior's works in private collections as well.

The Zakopane Gallery boasts representative examples of Hasior's work in various genres: spatial compositions; sculptures made from a variety of materials; pieces of everyday rubbish that acquire new meanings in the artist's works, and, accompanied as they are with metaphorical jokes and paradoxical titles, inspire viewers to reflect on the contemporary world and art.

An apt synthesis of Hasior's original art can be found in the introduction to the exhibition's catalogue:
"Wladyslaw Hasior's works are universal. They are very Polish, too. While they are connected with the Podhale region, its culture, beliefs, history and nature, and are concerned with the basics of work, the rhythm of life, and with regional tradition and modernity, they also convey a more general message. This message is not just something extra, appearing alongside local values. All Hasior's work incorporates some universal qualities."
