The heart of the Ethnographic Museum in Krakow is its collections - a unique, valuable and very diverse collection. A collection of artefacts, documents and works of art, in which each exhibit has its own history, connected to the history of a given person. We present these testimonies of the past and these stories to those living today, while caring for them with great care, preserving them and duly storing them for future generations. The Museum owns a collection of over 300,000 archival items: manuscripts, drawings, photographs, slides, as well as many valuable studies by the most eminent Polish ethnographers: Józef Lompa, Oskar Kolberg, Seweryn Udziela, Kazimierz Moszyński, Tadeusz Seweryn; sets of old glass plates, notes, interviews, memoirs. The collection is supplemented by a specialist library of around 30,000 volumes.

Learn about the story of the famous Polish artist Tadeusz Kantor. Feast your eyes on magnificent permanent and temporary exhibitions. Visitors to the permanent exhibition for the first time will have the opportunity to see, among other things, the Great Emballage of the late 20th century from the play I'll Never Come Back Here and the Barricade from Let the Artists Die.
