What to do and see in Stare Miasto, Southern Poland: The Best Art Museums

October 12, 2021 Weston Hennigan

Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

Stained Glass Museum (Muzeum Witrazu)

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!
