Galicia Jewish Museum, Krakow

Very informative museum with great captures that bring history to life. A bit too much information for which a couple hours need to be reserved, but a great experience overall.

Very interesting museum showing a collection of pictures from the 1970s, impact of the holocaust and how the Jewish community has reestablished itself in Kraków. The museum has its own collection of bees and whilst we were there, there was an exhibition of how you extract honey from the hives. It was quiet whilst we were there plus there is a large book shop as well.

An interesting collection of photographs, but while the lengthy descriptions of each picture are interesting there's just too much information to absorb. Perhaps a one-line caption above the long description would help? However, there's a good bookshop and café.

Excellent emotive photographs, with commentary that can be downloaded. Well worth a visit, as long as you have access to the commentary via your mobile. Expands your understanding of the area immensely.

4.3 underrates this museum. It's not that large & is more a permanent photography exhibit than a full museum (whatever that means...). Its collection of photos is organized to show a contrast between Jewish life in Communist Poland to more contemporary life and how modern Poland and its Jewish community are reconciling or not with their past. Many Polish Jewish sites or memories are fading or eroding and this exhibit poignantly captures them for posterity.
