Ethnographic Museum
The best part of the Ethnographic Museum is on the top floor. Life-size dolls are arranged in quaint scenes of life in Silesia before 1945.

Post & Communications Museum
Housed inside the 1929, bullet-knarled former Central Post Office, this magnificent building was one of the first high-rises in Wrocław and is easily recognisable from the Old Town thanks to the crown of satellite dishes on its roof.

Town Hall, Museum of City Art
The first thing you'll probably notice about the Town Hall (Ratusz) is that it seems to be patched together from bits and pieces of a dozen different buildings, and in many ways it was.
