Fresh from a recent boost of cash, Kraków’s one-time lacklustre Archaeology Museum has been transformed into something actually worth going to have a look at. As well as some fine examples of life from Małopolska during the Stone Age and a brilliant room dedicated to local clothing from 70,000 BC to the 14th century, the museum houses a permanent collection of artefacts from ancient Egypt including some beautiful shrouds, a number of intricately decorated sarcophagi and some mummified cats. The latter exhibition is best enjoyed with the aid of an audio guide, available for an extra charge.

Admission 7/5zł, Sun free for permanent exhibitions. Audioguide 5zł.
