Underground library in Warsaw metro invites
commuters to trade scrolling for stories
In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has
become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a
chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a
newly opened subterranean library inside the
Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now
trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.
The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than
16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout
system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip
complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal
area, all while waiting for their train.
“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational
and cultural center, and not just a place where you can
borrow your books from,” says Grażyna StrzelczakBatkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.
A modern space that breathes life into books
Metroteka’s design is as inviting as its mission. A lush
hydroponic garden wall filled with herbs and flowers
gives the underground space a breath of fresh air,
literally. Basil, oregano, and other plants grow without
soil or sunlight, infusing the library with an unexpected
sense of vitality. The bookshelves, shaped like soft,
undulating waves, add to the organic feel.
“I always joke that books are not made of glass,”
Strzelczak-Batkowska says. “You can just pop in, grab
a few, throw them on a self-checkout machine, and
that’s it—you’re out on a new adventure.”
Aiming to reverse a national trend
Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for
years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland
found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at
least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz
Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy
of war has shaped these numbers. During World War
II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.
“We had several generations that did not see their
parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,”
Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something
associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers,
librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”
By placing literature in the path of everyday
commuters, Metroteka hopes to shift that cultural
perception.
An open invitation to all
For Makowski, the location is just as important as the
books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a
dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful
and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but
a place where you can spend time freely, take part in
discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”
In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author
readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the
community. Books can be returned either directly to the
library or via parcel lockers outside the station,
available around the clock.
As commuters pass through Kondratowicza station
with coffee in hand and a novel tucked under one arm,
Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural
moments. By meeting people where they are, literally
underground, the library isn’t just promoting reading.
It’s redefining what public space can offer.

Why art gallery visits may be one of the healthiest
habits you can build
This year’s top Health stories celebrate the kind of
progress that hits close to home: advances that help
us live longer, feel better, and take care of one
another. From mental health wins to medical
innovations, these 2025 highlights are all about
healing, hope, and human potential.
Most of us know the feeling of standing in front of a
painting that makes us pause. Maybe it’s a burst of
color that lifts our mood or a quiet scene that steadies
the mind. Either way, a new study from King’s College
London suggests that these moments are doing far
more than sparking emotion. Researchers have found
measurable evidence that viewing original art can
support both mental health and long-term physical wellbeing.
Their findings point to something powerful: spending
even a short amount of time with original artworks may
reduce stress, improve emotional balance, and
potentially contribute to a longer, healthier life. And the
best part is that you do not need to be an art expert to
benefit.
What the study actually measured
To explore the connection between art and health,
researchers invited fifty healthy adults between the
ages of eighteen and forty to take part in an experiment.
One group visited The Courtauld Gallery in London,
where they viewed original masterpieces by artists
including Vincent van Gogh and Édouard Manet. A
second group viewed high-quality reproductions in a
non-gallery setting.
Participants wore sensors that tracked heart rate, skin
temperature, and other subtle responses. They also
provided saliva samples before and after the
experience so researchers could measure changes in
stress and inflammation.
The results were striking:
Cortisol, better known as the body’s primary stress
hormone, fell by 22 percent among gallery visitors.
Those who saw reproductions saw only an eight
percent drop.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines decreased by 30 percent
in the gallery group and 28 percent in the reproduction
group.
Gallery visitors also showed signs of emotional
engagement, including small drops in skin temperature
and variation in heart-rate patterns.
These shifts matter because high cortisol and
inflammation are linked to chronic conditions such as
anxiety, heart disease, and diabetes. In other words,
your quiet moment with an original painting could be
supporting your long-term health in ways you cannot
feel immediately.
Why original art matters even more
Although both groups experienced some positive
changes, the impact was stronger for those who viewed
original artworks. Researchers believe that the
immersive environment of a gallery adds layers of
sensory experience with elements that highlight space,
scale, texture, and atmosphere. These aspects work
together to deepen the body’s response.
Importantly, the researchers emphasized that the
benefits appeared regardless of art knowledge or
emotional intelligence. You do not need to understand
an artist’s entire catalog or even consider yourself an
“art person” to gain something meaningful.
A simple, accessible step toward wellbeing
The implications of this study reach beyond museum
walls. These findings help pave the way for broader
integration of art and wellbeing, offering a low-cost and
accessible option for reducing loneliness, easing
depression, and improving life satisfaction.
And while art may not replace clinical care, it can be a
gentle, joyful tool to add to your wellness routine. The
next time you find yourself lingering in front of a
painting, know that your body is responding in ways
that support you; calming, stimulating, and restoring at
the same time.

Why art gallery visits may be one of the healthiest
habits you can build
This year’s top Health stories celebrate the kind of
progress that hits close to home: advances that help
us live longer, feel better, and take care of one
another. From mental health wins to medical
innovations, these 2025 highlights are all about
healing, hope, and human potential.
Most of us know the feeling of standing in front of a
painting that makes us pause. Maybe it’s a burst of
color that lifts our mood or a quiet scene that steadies
the mind. Either way, a new study from King’s College
London suggests that these moments are doing far
more than sparking emotion. Researchers have found
measurable evidence that viewing original art can
support both mental health and long-term physical wellbeing.
Their findings point to something powerful: spending
even a short amount of time with original artworks may
reduce stress, improve emotional balance, and
potentially contribute to a longer, healthier life. And the
best part is that you do not need to be an art expert to
benefit.
What the study actually measured
To explore the connection between art and health,
researchers invited fifty healthy adults between the
ages of eighteen and forty to take part in an experiment.
One group visited The Courtauld Gallery in London,
where they viewed original masterpieces by artists
including Vincent van Gogh and Édouard Manet. A
second group viewed high-quality reproductions in a
non-gallery setting.
Participants wore sensors that tracked heart rate, skin
temperature, and other subtle responses. They also
provided saliva samples before and after the
experience so researchers could measure changes in
stress and inflammation.
The results were striking:
Cortisol, better known as the body’s primary stress
hormone, fell by 22 percent among gallery visitors.
Those who saw reproductions saw only an eight
percent drop.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines decreased by 30 percent
in the gallery group and 28 percent in the reproduction
group.
Gallery visitors also showed signs of emotional
engagement, including small drops in skin temperature
and variation in heart-rate patterns.
These shifts matter because high cortisol and
inflammation are linked to chronic conditions such as
anxiety, heart disease, and diabetes. In other words,
your quiet moment with an original painting could be
supporting your long-term health in ways you cannot
feel immediately.
Why original art matters even more
Although both groups experienced some positive
changes, the impact was stronger for those who viewed
original artworks. Researchers believe that the
immersive environment of a gallery adds layers of
sensory experience with elements that highlight space,
scale, texture, and atmosphere. These aspects work
together to deepen the body’s response.
Importantly, the researchers emphasized that the
benefits appeared regardless of art knowledge or
emotional intelligence. You do not need to understand
an artist’s entire catalog or even consider yourself an
“art person” to gain something meaningful.
A simple, accessible step toward wellbeing
The implications of this study reach beyond museum
walls. These findings help pave the way for broader
integration of art and wellbeing, offering a low-cost and
accessible option for reducing loneliness, easing
depression, and improving life satisfaction.
And while art may not replace clinical care, it can be a
gentle, joyful tool to add to your wellness routine. The
next time you find yourself lingering in front of a
painting, know that your body is responding in ways
that support you; calming, stimulating, and restoring at
the same time.
