National Museum in Kraków, Art museum in Kraków, Poland
The National Museum in Kraków maintains a collection of Polish art across multiple buildings, including paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and military artifacts.
Established in 1879 by the Kraków City Council, this institution emerged as the first national museum during a period when Poland lacked sovereign statehood.
The museum exhibits works by notable Polish artists like Stanisław Wyspiański and Jan Matejko through permanent collections spanning from medieval times to modern art.
Located at Aleja 3 Maja 1, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with extended hours until 19:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.
The museum houses three permanent exhibitions focusing on 20th-century Polish art, sculpture, and a comprehensive gallery of decorative arts from medieval to modern periods.
