The „Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre” Centre is an independent cultural institution engaged in fostering an awareness of Lublin's rich multicultural history and at developing a deeper sense of local identity and tolerance for other cultures. In its activities the Centre refers to the symbolic and historical significance of its residence - the Grodzka Gate - which was once a passage from the Christian to the Jewish part of the city, as well as to the locality of Lublin as a place where various cultures, traditions and religions once met.
The Gate became the symbol of meeting of cultures, history and tradition, the centre of
innovative educational ideas and of discovering forgotten trails of local past and heritage.
