Ethnographic Museum of Kraków, Ethnographic research center in Kazimierz district, Poland.

The Muzeum Etnograficzne occupies the former Town Hall of Kazimierz and displays traditional folk culture across several exhibition areas. The collection contains over 80,000 objects including clothing, crafts, and household items spanning different periods.

Seweryn Udziela founded the museum in 1911 and housed the collection in various locations before it found a permanent home in 1913. The museum's holdings have since provided visitors with a comprehensive picture of folk cultural traditions across generations.

The exhibits showcase folk costumes, handicrafts, and religious objects from different Polish regions. You can observe how people lived in traditional villages and what mattered to them in their daily lives.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday with free admission on Tuesdays. The building is easily accessible on foot, and exhibits are spread across multiple floors, so allow time to explore all the galleries.

The collection features works by folk artist Epifan Drowniak, known as Nikifor, alongside reconstructed interiors of traditional homes. These rare pieces by a self-taught artist offer a special view into the artistic expression of Polish people.

Opening Hours: Tuesday-Sunday 10:00-19:00
