Overview
Housed in the actual enamel factory of Oskar Schindler — the real-life setting of 'Schindler's List' — this museum hosts a permanent exhibition on 'Kraków Under Nazi Occupation'. Through interactive displays, photographs, footage, and documents, it vividly recreates the history of Nazi occupation from 1939 to 1945. Beyond Schindler's rescue of 1,200 Jews, it also tells the stories of everyday Kraków citizens and their resistance. Admission about PLN 32 (EUR 7); free on Mondays. 5-minute walk from tram stop Plac Bohaterów Getta.
