A unique and thoroughly recommended permanent exhibition inside the gorgeous 16th-century former Bernadine monastery, the city's architecture museum is more of a record of all that was lost in the city during WWII than a true museum of architecture. Permanent displays include beautiful examples of stained glass from the 12th century through to some spectacular Art Nouveau pieces, a breathtaking collection of tiled ceramic stoves, intricate door handles, Turkish floor tiles and a selection of truly ghastly gargoyles. There's a large model of the city as it was in 1740, which clearly shows its status as a fortress surrounded by water, and the occasional temporary to keep the eyes peeled for.
Admission 10/7zł. Groups over 10 people 5zł per person, Wed free.

I visited this museum located in the heart of Wroclaw and I find it an impressive museum with exhibitions of Polish pieces of architecture and numerous examples of artistic mastery of Polish artisans and workers in the Middle Ages. It represents numerous pieces of artwork from the era of the Middle Ages and one can admire the masterpieces of Gothic and Renaissance art.
