Kino Etiuda

Starting life as the Kino Przodownik in 1953, the theatre was originally operated at the site of the Marcel Nowotka Steelworks' Community Center. Though it was operated by the Steelworks for most of its history, the theatre did receive brief operations in the early-1980’s by the District Film Distribution Company (OPRF) based in Kielce, but the Steelworks took the theatre right back over in 1984.

That same year, the Municipal Cultural Center was established on November 20, 1984 by resolution of the Municipal National Council in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, who also operated locations in the municipalities of Bodzechów, Bałtów, Kunów, Łagów, and Waśniów. The Municipal Cultural Center’s offices were originally located on the 11th floor of a high-rise building on Gwardii Ludowej Street in the Pułanki housing estate until March 1988 when they relocated to the premises in the former Saski Brewery building at what was then 54 Wawrzyńca Krześniaka Street.

In September 1998, the Municipal Cultural Center took over operations of the then-municipalized building of the Ostrowiec Steelworks' Community Center, including the theatre, and since 2000, it has been named the Kino Etiuda. It received renovation in September 2020, and as of 2026, the theatre housed 464 seats (335 on the ground floor and 129 on the balcony) and features Barco 2K projection, a 16x42ft screen, and a Dolby Digital EX sound system.
