For ten years it was a branch of the National Museum in Krakow, being at the same time a place of active activity of the Kyoto - Krakow Foundation for them. Andrzej Wajda and Krystyna Zachwatowicz. In 2005, independent by the decision of the Minister of Culture, she was granted the status of a state cultural institution, and since 2007 she has been operating as a museum facility.

The Manggha Museum is the only state institution popularizing Japanese culture in Poland, which combines museum activities with the organization of undertakings typical of a modern cultural institution. The main criterion for creating the program of events is, in addition to the high artistic rank, the attractiveness of the show to the public. Due to the distinct cultural differences, the way to present distant and often incomprehensible specialist knowledge becomes the key. The methods that have been developed over the years by the Manggha Museum team allow for an insightful and attractive presentation of phenomena related to the ancient and contemporary Japan.

The activity of the Manggha Museum originates from the spirit of the great Polish collector and art expert Feliks Jasieński, patron of the institution. It is to be consistent with its deep and still current understanding of the social role of art, which serves the broad audience, shapes and educates, is easily accessible and widely known, and not hidden in magazines. The Manggha Museum - an institution founded by Andrzej Wajda - also realizes in practice the vision of its Founder: a vision of the place where Poland meets with Japan, and a rich Japanese tradition is presented alongside the latest technological advances; a vision of an open and friendly place for everyone here.
