Very well and thoughtfully organized. The English signage was very good and much appreciated. We are in our 70's and traveled with a couple in their 20's but we all found it very worth while. If in Krakow, it shouldn't be missed.

We absolutely loved the museum. It was incredibly interesting and thoughtfully presented, without being sensationalist and without referencing the Hollywood film which I suspect is what attracts a lot of visitors. We’re so pleased we decided to visit. In the end, we didn’t actually need the skip-the-line ticket as it was fairly quiet when we went (although when we drove past a couple of mornings earlier, the queue was huge!). The museum itself is excellent — we spent over three hours there and easily could have stayed longer, but we’d reached information overload! We especially loved the collection of old photographs, which really brought the history to life. Definitely leave your coats in the cloakroom, as it’s nice and warm inside. We would certainly visit again if we were in Krakow — it really puts the history into perspective.

Amazing and interactive exhibitions . Such historic events should be demonstrated in this way to make the most out of the experience and to learn all about the truth behind the scenes and the details.

Everything about it . I was unsure about Oskar Schindler's motives at first but seeing the film and visiting the factory I now realise and understand better ❤️

A wonderful museum, focusing mainly on Jewish history rather than on Schindler as a personality. There were only a few of us, so the tour was very easy.

A must see location to stand outside the factory and imagine the glow of workers entering through the gates. However inside is more set like and tends to distance you from the originality of the building. Interesting artifacts and information abound from the Nazi occupation. Hopefully the office at least gave an impression where you could imagine Oskar working.
    • Skip the lines and learn about the history of the Holocaust and the story of Schindler's efforts to save over 1,100 Jewish lives.

    • Enter Oskar Schindler's office with the symbolic "Survivor's Ark" and learn about how he saved over 1000 lives.

    • Discover the residence of Polish royalty for centuries and the finest collection of art and cultural treasures of Europe on a guided tour of Wawel Royal Castle.

    • Admire the beautiful Italian-styled courtyard, and architectural styles from the medieval, renaissance, and baroque periods.

    • Fun fact: Wawel Castle is said to be haunted by King Sigismund III Vasa's ghost, seen walking the halls of the castle with a sword and a crown. Seeing him is believed to be a sign of good luck!

    I HIGHLY recommend it, but with a guide. You don't get to see the factory itself, but you do get to see everything surrounding it that makes it so important.
