Kraków Museums

share
Kraków is packed with more museums than any other city in Poland, and the last several years have seen literally dozens of new openings and re-openings. Recent investments have improved the quality of the city's museums immensely, most of which have been modernised and many of which feature multimedia exhibits that will even keep the kids engaged. There is no better place to learn about Polish history, culture and character than Kraków's museums, some of which should be on every tourist itinerary.
