National Museum in Kraków

Amazing museum. The permanent exhibition is on floor 1 and 2 where it has artifacts from krakow and europe and on 2nd floor contains more arts from polish and European artists and the development from 1850 to today. Amazing exhibitions overall it's a mist visit if you go to Krakow

The temporary exhibition of Chełmoński was The most beautifully and skilfully curated exhibition I’ve ever seen in my life. With such attention to detail, such vast knowledge in many fields and competency, the way it’s exhibited itself is the work of art on top of the actual works of Chełmoński which are, obviously, masterpieces. The curators feeds us knowledge of the history background of paintings, their stories of creation, absolutely stunning compendium of the art techniques used and, additionally, a vast insight into horsemanship and nature, emphasising ornithology. The exhibition is marvellously representing Chełmoński’s multiple interests and phases, its truly worth visiting for multiple reasons ❤️👍

Entry for the standard exhibitions were £7. There were several other exhibitions on which had an additional ticket price although all felt very reasonable. Large bags must be put in a locker which was free to use. The first floor had a wide selection of beautiful historic artifacts to explore. The second floor had artwork by Polish artists. The art gallery was my favourite part, it was well laid out taking you through different artistic eras with great learning on the timelines. This meant there was a huge range from more classic paintings to futurism and expressionism. I personally found some of the information sheets hard to find for some items that I wanted to read about. I also don't think it's the largest museum (if you're paying for the standard exhibition.) If I went again I'd definitely research the exhibitions on and choose one to also go to.

The museum is free on Tuesdays. It consists of 3 floors in total, one floor is dedicated exclusively to paintings. Dozens of works from contemporary art movements of the 20th and 21st centuries are exhibited. The other floor displays objects used by the population of the past, decorative items, clocks, etc., as well as religious exhibits.

A very big museum with lots of things to see from different eras. Plan to spend 1.5 hours here, maybe more if having an audio guide. An immersive experience, showcasing how people lived in the past, this museum is definitely worth its money. A must see in Kraków!

The building is interesting but the museum unfortunately did not meet my expectations. I visited the permanent collection at the 1st and the 2nd floor. The 1st floor exhibition was quite dull as well as the presentation and lighting. The art ,mainly portraits, at the 2nd floor were a bit more interesting and better presented. I would not recommend spending much time in that museum.

A nice museum - very much an art museum though, I think I was expecting more Polish history! Very large and some interesting exhibits for a reasonable price.

The museum has a nice selection of 20th and 21st Polish art. The decorative art section, while fairly large, suffered from dim lighting and any easily readable information on the objects.
