Jagiellonian University Museum, University museum in Old Town, Krakow, Poland.
The Collegium Maius building features Gothic architecture with arcaded courtyard, medieval lecture halls, and historical chambers filled with academic artifacts.
King Władysław II Jagiełło donated this building to the university in 1400, following Queen Jadwiga's educational grant for the first Polish university.
The museum exhibits scientific instruments, globes, medieval art, astronomical equipment, and royal memorabilia spanning several centuries of academic excellence.
The museum includes a tourist information center, conference facilities, basement café, and specialized guided tours available in multiple languages.
The astronomical clock in the courtyard performs a parade of historical university figures daily, accompanied by musical compositions from different periods.
