National Museum in Wrocław
Muzeum Narodowe we Wrocławiu
A neo-Renaissance building covered in ivy, housing Silesian medieval sculpture and Polish art. It is one of Poland's most important museums.
The museum building was originally the seat of the Prussian provincial government of Silesia. Its façade is covered in dense ivy, which turns red in autumn and makes an especially photogenic sight. The collection focuses on medieval Silesian stone and wood carvings, as well as Polish painting and decorative arts from the Renaissance to the modern period. A combined ticket with the Panorama of Racławice opposite is available. A visit takes about 1.5–2 hours. The museum is closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun approx. 10:00–17:00 (check official website)
