MNK Main Building

Why go

Choose this branch for range rather than a single masterpiece. Its galleries bring together Polish painting and sculpture from the late 19th century onward, arms and uniforms spanning several centuries, and decorative arts including metalwork, furniture, textiles, ceramics and stained glass.

What to look for

• Modern Polish art includes works by Stanisław Wyspiański, Jacek Malczewski and Leon Wyczółkowski.
• The Arms and Colours displays trace armor, sabres, firearms and uniforms across centuries.
• Decorative-arts galleries range from precious metalwork to stained glass, carpets and costume.

Useful to know

• Confirm that the exhibitions matching your interests are on view before making this your museum day.
• Focus on one collection first; the art, military and decorative-arts holdings reward different kinds of attention.
• Do not confuse the Main Building with the National Museum’s other Kraków branches.
