During the next years, Andrzej Wawrzyniak combined his diplomatic career with his passion aimed at expanding the Museum and it's activities as well as continuing to collect new objects of art of countries of Asia and the Pacific rim. In 1976 the Nusantara Archipelago Museum had been transformed and began a new span of life as the Asia and Pacific Museum in Warsaw. In 1983 the Museum was given it's first edifice where inventories, workshops and offices are located, but there is no space for permanent exhibition. Since 1973 until now, the Museum has organised nearly 700 exhibitions, more than 20 each year, the majority of which had been presented in the premises of the Museum's own galleries in Warsaw: the Nusantara Gallery, the Asian Gallery as well as in other museums in Poland and abroad.

This unique Museum holds the collection of more than 18 000 objects. It also organizes meetings, seminars and lectures promoting in Poland art and culture of different countries of Asia, Australia and Oceania. The Museum creates the proper atmosphere for Polish artists inspirited by Orient. Now, it has a chance for further development.

Decisions regarding building of the new edifice have been made, also architecture projects and documents are ready. In 2005 some construction works began. If all existing problems are solved as soon as possible, within a time of two years, the Asia and Pacific Museum will emerge in a complete new scale. It will be the only institution in Poland presenting Asian cultures, with a new, sophisticated permanent exposition measuring 700 m2 and with a new possibilities of educational, artistic and scholar activity.
