The interwar period seen the transformation of the 19th century elite culture into mass culture.

The cultural hubs of Warsaw, Kraków, Wilno and Lwów raised themselves to the level of major European cities.

While the term Polish culture refers primarily to the Polish language culture in Poland and in other countries, Second Polish Republic had also several vibrant national minorities: most notably Jewish, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Lithuanian and German.
