Visit Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory in Podgórze and follow the story of wartime Krakow. Walk through exhibits of testimonies, photographs and film that trace the occupation and the lives affected by it.
Full description
Housed in the former administrative building of Oskar Schindler's enamel factory in Podgórze, this museum focuses on Krakow during the Nazi occupation rather than on the factory itself. Exhibits rely heavily on photographs, posters, film footage and survivor testimonies to reconstruct life in the ghetto and city, with only a small display connected to Schindler's enamelware.
Reviewers praise the curation and low admission price but warn that it is not a tour of a working factory. Tickets are best reserved ahead and a visit takes about 90 minutes.

Reviews
A beautifully curated exhibition with fascinating testimonies and informative texts. The admission price is purely symbolic given the exceptional quality of the content. I highly recommend setting aside plenty of time for your visit—it is absolutely worth every minute.
