National Museum in Kraków

It is challenging to navigate this place, and the many staff who wander around don't offer any advice, suggestions or information. I couldn't work out which ticket booth to go to when I first arrived but it seemed as though either one was OK in the end. I started up on the top floor but had no idea how to make my way around the place, and found myself going backwards in time. There is a lot of great art and interesting information but it has been really oddly curated, so there is a disconnect between what visitors might want to know when looking at a work of art and where to go to find the information. The floor below is packed full of decorative arts but was pretty empty. All very dark, poorly lit and strangely explained. This museum could be excellent...

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 ❤️👍

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 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.

The most important museum in Kraków, you have to spend here at least 2 hours, 3 hours better. Contemporary art, polish realism, and furniture.

I enjoyed each of their three exhibits, give yourself at least 3 hours to visit (more if you can).

Interesting museum with a good mix of contemporary, modern art and old religious artefacts and antique furniture.

I think the main portion of the museum was shut when we went but there were several art exhibitions open. The exhibition of polish art was particularly great.
