Czartoryski Museum
Muzeum Książąt Czartoryskich
One of Poland's oldest museums, whose greatest treasure is Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine.
Founded in 1801 by Princess Izabela Czartoryska and reopened in 2019 after renovation, the museum is part of the National Museum system. Its main highlight is Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine, displayed alone in a dark room. Other works include Rembrandt's Landscape with the Good Samaritan, artifacts from ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, and a collection of weapons belonging to Polish royalty and nobility. Admission costs about 50 zlotys, including the da Vinci gallery. Photography is allowed inside but flash is prohibited. The museum is on Pijarska Street, south of St. Florian's Gate, a three-minute walk away.
