Museum of Photography in Krakow - MuFo Strzelnica

  ul. Królowej Jadwigi 220 ,   No District          (+48) 798 08 35 14     11 Sep 2023
The gorgeously renovated Stara Strzelnica shooting gallery is home to a unique satellite branch of Kraków's Photography Museum. Located in Wola Justowska - an affluent neighbourhood west of the centre, the almost entirely wood and glass historical building dates back to the 1880s and was used as a shooting range by the Kraków Rifle Association and later by Piłsudski's Polish Legions. Though in ruins for decades, the building has been thoroughly restored and houses the museum's permanent exhibit 'Portrait,' plus a fancy restaurant and bookshop. Outside, guests can enjoy the lovely garden, which is full of benches and places to relax, as well as sculptures and art installations relating to photography.

Please note that visiting the 'Portrait' exhibit - which examines the multifaceted nature of the photographic portrait and its evolution over time, including various photography equipment and techniques, culminating in the rise and prevalence of...the 'selfie' (gag) - can only be done by contacting the museum at least three days in advance (via email to wojciech.kucharczyk@mufo.krakow.pl or by phone to +48 517 135 312).

Getting to MuFo Strzelnica involves a 20min bus ride and short walk (take buses 102, 134, 734, 792 or 902 and get off at 'Strzelnica'), but for shutterbugs, it's worth it just to photograph the building itself.

Average visiting time: 1hr.
