The Stanisław Wyspiański Museum in Kraków

The Stanisław Wyspiański Museum occupies a 17th-century building in the Old Town and displays over 1,100 objects including paintings, sketches, and designs by the artist. The three floors present a broad range of his graphic and design work.

The museum opened in December 2021 as part of the National Museum in Kraków, continuing a tradition of exhibitions devoted to the artist that began following his death in 1907. This ongoing recognition reflects his lasting importance in art history.

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 exhibitions change annually, so checking the current program before visiting is worthwhile. Access is straightforward since the museum is located in the tourist zone of the Old Town and easily reached on foot.

The museum offers virtual reality tours that show Wyspiański's architectural works at their original locations throughout Kraków, especially his designs for religious buildings. This technology lets visitors discover his works within the urban setting where they were created.
