After more than three months, the people of Krakow and tourists can visit the Princes Czartoryski Museum again. As of today, June 30, the unique collection together with the Lady and the Ermine Leonardo da Vinci is now open to the public.

The Palace of the Princes Czartoryski Museum is the last branch of the National Museum in Krakow (NMK) that has opened up after the break caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. There, the ‘youngest’ permanent exhibition presented by the NMK is presented – in its current shape, it can be seen only from December 20, 2019. From the opening to March 11, it was seen by over 46,000. people.

Visitors of the Palace are attracted to the historical Czartoryski collection, collected since the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, which contains both masterpieces of painting – for example, the “Lady with an Ermine” by Leonardo da Vinci and “Landscape with the Good Samaritan” by Rembrandt or paintings by Jan Matejko (national painter), as well as numerous memorabilia – priceless historical souvenirs, and testimonies of the past Polish and European culture.
Due to the high interest and the limited number of people who can be in the museum at the same time, the number of tickets for each day is limited. They are available for a specific date and time, which is why the best solution is their earlier online purchase or e-mail booking.

The NMK Main Building is also reopened from 30 June 2020. At the beginning the exhibition “Miracle of light. Medieval stained glass windows in Poland โ€, while permanent exhibitions will be open to visitors from July 4.

Current visiting hours:

  • Tuesday to Sunday – 10:00 to 17:00

Regulations for visitors:

  • covering of nose and mouth while inside the museum
  • disinfecting hands
  • keeping the 2 meter distance from other people

I hope you get to visit the Czartoryski Museum. If you do, let me know how you liked it ๐Ÿ™‚

Yours truly,
