Krakow Museums

(Krakow, Malopolskie, Poland)

There are quite literally museums for everyone in Krakow, and then some. Here you can enjoy museums specialising in ancient Polish archaeology, the history of aviation, and even fossils and skeletons of extinct animals, such as the 'sea cow' skull at the popular Zoological Museum.

Even if you only have a slight interest in the Krakow of yesteryear, then a visit to the Historical Museum of Krakow is a must. Located in the Stare Miasto (Old Town) and actually within the grand Krzysztofory Palace, this attraction is known for its elaborate ceiling frescos from the 1700s, traditional Polish costumes, old maps, important documents and portraits of notable Krakow residents. Also of interest are the Polish folk artefacts at the Ethnographical Museum, coins and medals at the Museum of Emeryk Czapski, and Royal regalia and valuable weaponry exhibits from the Battle of Vienna, displayed at the city's Treasury and Armoury.
