Neoclassical building at Staromłyńska 1, in the old town, formed by two 18th-century houses joined in 1889. Before the war its façade bore the heads of nine Greek mythological figures; in the 1958 restoration the sculptor Sławomir Lewiński replaced them with heads of people linked to Szczecin's cultural life. The left wing houses the Museum of Contemporary Art, a branch of the National Museum, and the right the Dom Kultury 13 Muz cultural centre.
