Historical Museum of the City of Kraków, History museum in Old Town, Poland.
The Historical Museum of the City of Kraków occupies the Krzysztofory Palace, displaying extensive collections of artifacts, documents, and photographs from different periods.
Founded in 1899 as a division of the Municipal Archive, the museum relocated multiple times before settling in its current location at Krzysztofory Palace in 1964.
The museum maintains traditions through exhibitions about Lajkonik parades, marksmen's brotherhood, and organizes the annual Kraków Nativity Scene competition since 1946.
Visitors can explore permanent and temporary exhibitions, participate in guided tours, workshops, and educational programs focused on Kraków's development through centuries.
The current main exhibition, 'Kraków from the Beginning, without End,' opened in December 2021, presenting the city's evolution through interactive displays.
