Józef Mehoffer Museum in Kraków, Historic art museum in Kraków, Poland.
The Józef Mehoffer Museum is an artist's home displaying around 120 oil paintings, drawings, murals, and stained glass works across 16 rooms. The collection includes original furniture, sculptures, and Japanese wooden art spanning different periods of the artist's career.
The building was originally the birthplace of Stanisław Wyspiański in 1869 before the Mehoffer family made it their residence. It was converted into a museum in the 1980s to preserve the family's artistic legacy.
The home served as a gathering place for artists and thinkers who came to discuss their work and ideas. You can still feel this creative exchange in how the rooms are arranged and how the artworks are displayed throughout the house.
The museum is located on Krupnicza Street and welcomes visitors during weekday mornings and early afternoons. It's worth checking opening hours beforehand, as museum schedules can change seasonally throughout the year.
The rooms retain their original arrangement from the 1980s, offering a glimpse into how the artist organized his creative life. This preserved layout lets you understand the personal workspace and living habits of Mehoffer in a way most museums cannot.
