Galicia Jewish Museum
Visit Galicia Jewish Museum, a small but modern museum in a culturally rich Jewish quarter, Kazimierz. The exhibits attempt to showcase the vibrant life that the neighborhood was once known for. It was founded in 2004 by photojournalist Chris Schwarz to celebrate the Galicia Jewish population that was decimated in World War II. The central exhibit features a series of photographs called "Traces of Memory" that share the history of the Galicia Jews over 800 years. Three different temporary exhibits rotate through the attraction year-round. The open space, resembling a factory, is popular for events, concerts, film screenings, and lectures. Visit the attraction's website for a current schedule. Both the founder of the museum and the scholar who helped him are British, so all the information is available in English.

Detta är en ren fotoutställning, nog inget för de mindre barnen. Text under på Polska och Engelska. Intressant att läsa men som sagt, enbart en fotoutställning. more »
This is a pure photographic exhibition, probably nothing for the smaller children. Text in Polish and English. Interesting to read but as I said, only a photo exhibition.View original -
Museo fotografico che offre un punto di osservazione alternativo, attraverso numerose fotografie. Bella anche la struttura nella sua semplicità more »

Fantastic museum with detailed captions and well organised photos. Gift shop has a huge range of books and the staff were exceedingly helpful - including finding someone to translate the Hebrew on a ring I wished to purchase.
