The Stanisław Wyspiański Museum in Kraków

The Stanisław Wyspiański Museum in Kraków, Biographical museum in Old Town, Kraków, Poland.

The Stanisław Wyspiański Museum occupies the Old Granary (Stary Spichlerz) at plac Sikorskiego 6, a building erected in the 18th century. Its permanent exhibition displays around 200 works, mostly on paper, arranged over three levels: portraits and Kraków views on the ground floor, the themes "Żywioły", "Wawel–dramat królów" and "Apollo-Chrystus" on the first floor, and the "Księgi moje" book collection in the basement.

The idea of a Wyspiański museum dates to the 1930s, when stained-glass cartoons were to be shown in a planned rotunda at the Mickiewicza Avenue building. A dedicated branch opened on 28 November 1983 at Kanonicza 9, closed in 2002, and moved to the Szołayski House until 2012. Since 2 December 2021 the collection has been shown in the Old Granary.

The collection features interior designs that Wyspiański created for churches throughout Kraków, including stained glass windows for the Franciscan Church and decorative elements for Wawel Cathedral. These works continue to shape the appearance of these sacred spaces in the city today.

The museum occupies the Stary Spichlerz at plac gen. Władysława Sikorskiego 6, near the Old Town square. Because works on paper must rest, about 200 pieces are shown and rotated during the year, so what hangs on the ground floor and upper floor changes. The lower level holds the "Księgi moje" book room and the "Metamorfozy" theatre space.

The building housing the museum is the Old Granary (Stary Spichlerz), erected in the 18th century; over its life it served as a granary, a factory, a shop and the seat of the Association of Architects of the Republic of Poland. After 1945 the National Museum took it over and used it for years as a storehouse for artworks, and from 2013 to 2021 it held the Europeum Centre for European Culture.
