Like all the best museums in Poland, Wrocław's Archaeological Museum is located inside a building that's a museum in itself. In this instance the city's former 15th-century Arsenal plays host to the usual suspects found lurking in most museums of its type. There are English captions now for many exhibits, while others, such as the gargoyles and the reconstructed thatched house fascinate without the need to know more. There are three permanent exhibitions - Medieval Silesia with the reconstructed thatched house mentioned earlier, Ancient Silesia - Stone Age and early Bronze Age and Ancient Silesia - Bronze and Iron Age. On display are everyday objects from these times such as military items, ornaments and tools.
Admission 7/5zł, Wed free.

To my humble experience the building itself is not worth the visit. So go visit this museum only if you are *really* interested in archaelogy or weapons and helmets (same ticket for military museum). That said the two museums (archaelogy and military) are well designed.
