The actual museum was brilliant. Fascinating. I wonder if the experience could be enhanced with less people entering at one time

It wasnt obvious what to do at the venue. I tried to enter 3 times but was told to wait outside. I saw tour guides but didnt realise I had to ask a tour guide to give me a paper ticket at the time a tour is due to start. Even with the paper ticket, security at the venue sent me outside again. I wasted about 20 mins trying to get in and it would have been much quicker, easier and cheaper to get a ticket at the venue. I asked someone outside what I needed to do and she happened to be the guide I needed. She was helpful and friendly.

What made the difference and made this experience better than others was: the human guide. The museum was not what I expected as instead of a "factory" it's a collection of images and stories, but the guide was very good in helping us make sense of what we were seeing and teaching us a nice history lesson.

An informative and brilliant couple of hours. Our guide was superb and really brought the story of Krakow in the second world war to life. It was a hard listen with what went on but he was very humble and respectful with the facts. Highly recommended.

The exhibition is very interesting, narrates in detail all the events and teleports you to that time. Perhaps we missed a more specific exhibition section of the factory and the figure of Oskar Schindler.

Tribute to resilience: Krakow under Nazi occupation

See the ‘Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945’ exhibition. This exhibition serves as a chronological narrative of the wartime events, brought to life through theatrical reconstructions, photographs, films, and original items from the era. Offering a deeply immersive experience, the exhibits guide visitors through the city's cobbled streets, into a tram viewing a film about the city, and through a hauntingly realistic reconstruction of a ghetto, reflecting the living conditions of Jewish inhabitants during the war.

Schindler's legacy lives on

The museum also pays tribute to the iconic film 'Schindler’s List,' which was set in Krakow during World War II and brought worldwide attention to the heartbreaking story of the Holocaust victims.
