Antiques are a popular commodity in Poland and you'll find no shortage of antiquated oddities in Wrocław. As you walk about town keep your eyes peeled for signage with the inscriptions 'Antyki,' 'Antykwariat' and 'Starocie' (junk); ul. Kiełbaśnicza is a good place to start. Knowledgeable dealers offer prices comparable with the rest of Europe, but there are still plenty of bargains and undervalued treasures to be found. Bear in mind that if you intend to take art that is more than 50 years old and of a potentially high value out of the country, you'll have to get some papers in order first (see Customs, under Basics). Most proper dealers can provide this straight-away, but you may want to check before opening your wallet.

For artisan galleries in Wrocław, head straight to ul. Jatki. In addition to being Wrocław's oldest, most narrow, most charming and possibly most touristy street, this row of former medieval butcher stalls is today home to several artist studios and galleries.
