[closed] Czartoryski Museum - Arsenal

This small branch of the National Museum is a satellite of the Czartoryski Museum across the street; both are currently closed, with this space projected to reopen at the end of 2019.

Originally built in the mid-15th century, this space once stored the city's armoury, munitions, cannons and gunpowder. In the 1800s it was rebuilt and expanded into its current neo-Gothic state to hold the vast library and collections of the Czartoryski Princes, until the collection was moved across the street to ul. Św. Marka 17 in the 1960s. Since then Kraków's former Arsenal has been used to showcase various segments of the famous Czartoryski collection, including a long stint as the Gallery of Ancient Art.
