Guided tours in English: Tuesday - Saturday every hour from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. (last English tour 5:00 pm). In the Stained Glass Museum, exhibition spaces intertwine with the old stained glass workshop, functioning since 1902. The visitors can observe the process of stained glass creation, in the warm atmosphere of the historic workshop, directly above the heads of artists and craftsmen. For this reason visits can only be made by joining a guided tour. Ticket prices per person (including our English guide): adults 37 PLN, student 31 PLN, family (2+2) 124 PLN Visitors can also book workshops with master craftsmen and make their own stained glass souvenir. There are three workshops options: 2 hrs, 3 hrs or 2 days long, at the price 190 PLN, 260 PLN or 1100 PLN per person respectively. The price in each case includes: - guided tour of the museum and workshop - coffee break - creation of stained glass object under the artist's guidance - your own stained glass object to take home.
One of my top experiences in Krakow. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t say the place is very commercial or touristy, it’s quiet and authentic. Our guide had perfect English and gave us a small workshop experience. She answered all questions and provided some great insights into the glass making process. Highly recommended!

Renaissance castle located along the Eagles' Nest Trail features a lovely courtyard with a delicate arcade and an exhibition of European art from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
This castle looks like it's out of a fairy tale. And with all its history it pretty much is. With legend of a local girl being thrown into the well for not wanting to marry to fantastic artwork from centuries below. This castle is well worth the price if admission. The best part is this is not a huge tourist attraction so it's nothing quite as busy as other castles like in say germany. Well worth going great pictures can be made here. Great restaurant too.

I came here while the special exhibit focused on World War II and the Holocaust and found the collection to be among the most moving, thought provoking sets of art I have ever seen. I would say the experience was on par with my visit to the actual Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in terms of how it struck me. Both the special exhibit and the permanent collection have great variety, with paintings, photography, audio-visual pieces, sculptures, and even several interactive displays. I think this art museum is a must-visit when in Krakow, and it blows other similar attractions (such as the nearby Schindler Factory Museum, or even the Galicia Jewish Museum) out of the water when it comes to ruminating on the events and impact of WW II.

Originally run by the artist, it is a gallery of his works. Born in Nowy Sącz in 1928, Wladyslaw Hasior was first educated in Zakopane under the supervision of the outstanding teacher and artist Antoni Kenar at the State School of Art Techniques, which he completed in 1952. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw with Professor Marian Wnuk, graduating in 1958, and in Ossip Zadkine's studio in Paris in 1959. Even before his graduation from the Academy, he started teaching at the State School of Art Techniques in Zakopane, with which he was to remain connected for many years. In December 1984 his works were transferred from the artist's small studio to the Gallery in Jagiellońska Street. The Gallery is based in the former resting terrace of the Warszawianka sanatorium. Erected in 1935 to Waclaw Nowakowski's design, the wooden resting terrace originally had two levels glazed from the south. It has been adapted for the gallery needs, becoming a complex of interiors on several layers, intended as exhibition rooms, often a concert hall, as well the artist's home and studio. The Gallery was inaugurated in February 1985. Displayed in the Gallery are Wladyslaw Hasior's famous banners, spatial compositions and sculptures made of various materials as well as objects of daily use, often bordering on junk, which have in the artist's hands acquired a new meaning. Bearing metaphorical, witty, slightly pervert titles, they make one ponder on the present-day world and art.
