Wawel Royal Castle National Art Collection, Art museum in Wawel Castle, Kraków, Poland.

The Royal Castle houses ten curatorial departments displaying paintings, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, and period furniture across multiple exhibition halls.

Established in 1930, the museum collection expanded after 1945 to include Italian Renaissance paintings, Ottoman tents, and Polish royal artifacts.

The museum preserves numerous works of national importance, including the extensive tapestry collection commissioned by King Sigismund II Augustus.

Visitors can select specific exhibitions to visit instead of purchasing a complete access pass, with additional options for guided tours.

The institution maintains Europe's largest collection of Ottoman tents, which require special preservation conditions and limited display periods.
