Words fail to sufficiently describe the incredible collection of works of Beksinski. Items ranged from his early works - including photography and sculptures - to his iconic paintings and late digital explorations until his death. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the modern art scene of late 20th century.

Explore the dark face of the city. Take the challenge and let yourself feel the fear, which has never been so real. Visit rooms haunted by lost souls, and be sure that you will remember forever things which are hidden at the cursed floor at Florianska 6. LOST SOULS ALLEY - Poland's first interactive museum devoted to the basic instinct of fear. Entire floor, which is inspired by horror movies.

Walking into this place I had no idea what I was about to experience as it was booked as a surprise for me hen do (I know I’m weird). It was so amazing I wish I would give it more stars! A must for any person who loves a horror movie. It was like being in one! I would highly recommend if you’re looking for something different to do in Kraków. If anyone is unsure you can leave at any time (which my Sister did as she couldn’t cope). Absolutely brilliant, the highlight of my hen!

Poland history re-enacted using thousands of Lego Bricks and clever projections. There is a ton of technical marvel here, the audio guide is synched with your position, there are VR goggles, the lego buildings and battlefields are enhanced with 3D projections and in one exhibition you can highlight different areas of a miniature by waving your hand. 100% recommended!

We loved the show put on by an old Baca, there is a good interaction going on between the old and the new generation, we thought the presentation was very good, the whole process of coming from sheep milk to Oscypek became living and clear. The old Baca is quite the character, had a good cheer and attitude, the presentation setup is close up, intimate almost, very enjoyable experience. Very good to take kids to.

10. Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14,352 reviews
Established by the Nazis in 1940, Auschwitz-Birkenau has become a symbol of terror, genocide and the Holocaust. Although the exact number of victims is unknown, many Jews, Poles and gypsies died here. The museum consists of two parts: Auschwitz I, the first and oldest camp (the number of prisoners fluctuated around 15,000, sometimes rising above 20,000) and Auschwitz II, Birkenau (which held more than 90,000 prisoners in 1944). The greater part of the apparatus of mass extermination was built in Birkenau and the majority of the victims were murdered there.

I don’t want to call this a review like it’s rating some sort of amusement park but want to share some thoughts and info for those thinking of visiting. One the things our guide repeated various times was this is first and foremost a cemetery for those lost in the holocaust and should be treated as such and he was so so right. I have seen it mentioned many times but personally we never felt rushed on our guided tour, although there were many different languages tours occurring at the same time so it sometimes overlapped but it’s a place of many many visitors and they do need to keep the pace. However there is always time to wander round afterwards and reflect on your own time. After the initial Auschwitz tour which is mainly exhibitions in the original blocks were all the belongings of the prisoners are piled up, this part does feel more like just that..an exhibition, it almost doesn’t feel real and yet the hairs on your neck stand on end at the sight and you feel a continuing sense of sadness and depression all throughout. The guide then invited us to have a break and meet up together again at Birkenau if we wanted to or we could take some time and wander at our own leisure if we wanted. Birkenau itself is a completely different experience and it’s here you really feel the weight of the experience even though most of it lies in ruins. Our tour guide (we think his name was Andres or something similar) was so knowledgable and genuine, you can tell he really feels passionate and humbled to show people through this harrowing experience and really make sure you feel the full impact of what can only be described as be most haunting and evil place on earth. Some people complained at the volume of the tour and we had several stops of people getting new headphones as they kept saying they couldn’t hear properly, poor guide had to hold his microphone the whole way round which he did without complaint. However he very rightly said it’s important for him to remain respectful and not shout in the exhibitions. We felt very grateful for our guide and felt it was the right choice for us. A definite must experience in life.
