An interesting place in a modern city. They played out the life of past centuries in a modern house in a very original way. It was implemented perfectly! It is worth going and seeing what life was like in the last century.

I think photos don't do this place justice. It's not just the selection of articles on display (which is in itself great), but the thematic arrangement of the items, the presentation, and the... compassion? I guess? with which they are presented.

I think the field of ethnograpy, when presenting The People™, can sometimes miss the mark on presenting them as people. This collection doesn't. The accompanying captions and texts etc. never let you forget about the human stories and legacies connected to the items. You're not only shown tools of a trade or articles of clothing — with merely a few lines of text, they help you see not just the necklace but the young girl who wore it, not just the whetstone but the farmer who used it.

My favourite parts were: the Easter egg collection, the schoolroom, the Nativity scenes and, unexpectedly enough, the coral necklaces and their historical backgrounds! I was inspired by that to buy some coral jewellery for my mother as a Kraków souvenir, actually 😊

Highly recommend this museum - especially for people not from this side of the world, who don't know about how peasants lived (and also celebrated!) from 18.-20. century.

I definitely recommend this museum as a starting point to visiting Krakow. Excellent explanation of the different clothing, musical instruments, cultural, past living conditions, and art, of the wonderful people in Poland. There are reproductions of Polish decorated houses, classrooms and artist studios. Photographs, and actual letters, tell stories of historical memories. The top floor has a mixture of older, and contemporary art. Definitely a must, and a treat, for any tourist, student, or historian.

Nice museum for a short visit, but the employees ruin the experience. We were the only ones there and we were followed everywhere by one or two of the employees into every room we entered standing a few feet away from you. This made the visit very uncomfortable. Furthermore, coming close to an object, they would already say "Don't touch". No please or whatsoever. So unpleasant and not tourist friendly unfortunately.
