Visit the National Museum in Kraków and take on its three permanent galleries. Move through Polish and European paintings and historical artefacts in a large collection that easily fills a few hours.
Full description
The National Museum in Kraków is the city's principal public art institution, presenting three permanent galleries of artworks and historical artefacts from Poland and elsewhere in Europe. Reviewers describe a large, extensive collection that rewards two to three hours, and mention that free admission applies on certain weekdays.
One notes that the Leonardo da Vinci painting is not housed at this main building, so manage expectations if that is your goal. Queues at the ticket desk can be long at busy times, so arrive prepared.
