What Polish Poster Gallery does

Polish Poster Gallery (legal name: Galeria Plakatu Polishposter.com.pl Joanna Marcinkiewicz) is a privately held sole proprietorship operating a niche e-commerce and physical retail business dedicated to Polish poster art. Headquartered at ul. Św. Mikołaja 54/55 in Wrocław, Poland, the company sells original and reproduction Polish posters across five core categories — film (2,742 SKUs), theater (727 SKUs), exhibition (329 SKUs), opera (261 SKUs), and music (195 SKUs) — for a total catalog exceeding 4,000 titles featuring works by established Polish graphic artists such as Jan Lenica, Waldemar Świerzy, Andrzej Krajewski, Roman Cieślewicz, and Ryszard Kaja. The company also operates a sub-brand, THECARD.PL, which sells poster reproductions as postcards across more than 450 titles.

The platform is built on PrestaShop and supports multi-currency checkout in EUR, PLN, and USD, with payment processing via PayU, PayPal, and mbank bank transfer, and fulfillment handled through InPost and DPD domestically plus DHL internationally. Unit pricing ranges from approximately $24 for standard reproductions to over $2,000 for rare archival pieces, with flat-rate domestic shipping (25 PLN courier, 18 PLN parcel locker) and international shipping from 60 PLN. The customer base is a horizontal segment of art collectors and enthusiasts — both Polish domestic buyers and international customers — sourced primarily through organic SEO, a Facebook presence, and email account alerts. Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees, and the company maintains a physical gallery showroom in Wrocław in addition to its online storefront.

• MoMA Design Store: Museum-affiliated retail operation selling curated art, design objects, and prints both online and in physical stores. Comparable through its curatorial approach to art and design retail and its dual online-and-physical presence.
• Art.com: Large-scale online art and poster retailer offering broad selection of prints, framed art, and posters. Comparable as a poster and art-print e-commerce competitor at scale, though it operates a much wider, non-specialized catalog.
