Culture in Krakow
It's impossible to mention the word "Krakow" and not say "culture" the same sentence. In this city you are absolutely immersed in all of life's finer things. Cherubs and gargoyles look down from almost every ancient palace and townhouse - guarding the endless treasure troves of everything cultural.
From famous paintings, like Da Vinci's "Lady with an Ermine" to Egyptian artefacts, to catacombs which easily break the thousand-year marker, you'll find more culture and history here than in most cities on this planet. When you've satisfied your museum-hunger, move right along to Krakow's many galleries. Showcasing the best of the old as well as the brightest modern stars, you'll get more art than you can handle. And let's not forget about the city's own, unique culture. There are not many places in the world where "nie kulturalny" (uncultured) survives as a powerful cut-down. We've prepared an easy to use directory of all of the city's finer things. Perfect for balancing out that "Drink" section!

Reviews about Culture in Krakow
This museum was one of the highlights of our trip to Poland. We discovered it by accident and we learned so much, especially about the way our ancestors used to live. I wish the gift shop sold a souvenir book telling more about the exhibits and/or I wish the museum's website presented in-depth looks at and explanations of the fascinating displays.
No Consolate in Krakow.. No English Speakers at this Council British Tax payer, very, very, very Disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!
Employ someone to answer your door whoCAN SPEAK RUDAMENTARY ENGILISH, not grumpy Polish!!!!!!!
I love the two items I purchased whilst in Poland. I am pursuing further purchases. Exquisite pieces. Thank you
Had a fantastic time in this museum! Really interesting, touching and even funny! Been waiting for it to re open for a long time and definitely worth the wait. Very excited for when the wing with ancient artifacts is accessible!!
This museum is absolutely beautiful and the work is stunning I wish I could have a beautiful piece for my window. I love this museum.
