Unusual Museums in Krakow: Banksy and Underground

The Banksy Museum

It is a museum of works by Banksy, the street artist who has never revealed his identity. The booking page names, among others, Girl with Balloon, Rage, the Flower Thrower and Kissing Coppers. The ticket does not include a guide: you visit on your own.

The museum is at Berka Joselewicza 21 and, according to the booking page, opens every day from 11 am to 7 pm, with last entry at 6.15 pm. Hours may change. Student discounts require a Polish student card or an ISIC; without one, the difference is paid at the entrance. The building is not wheelchair accessible.

The underground museum beneath the square

The Rynek Underground lies beneath Main Square, between the Cloth Hall and St Mary's church, about four metres deep. You move among remains of medieval streets and foundations, with multimedia panels and videos on the development of the city.

The guided visit in English lasts about an hour and a half and includes the entry ticket. Check the museum's opening hours on the official website.

A taste of Polish liqueurs

The traditional bars tour lasts two hours in Kazimierz, with the meeting point in front of the High Synagogue. You visit three bars and taste six liqueurs, including vodka and home-style spirits, with typical snacks.

The guide speaks English and the minimum age is 18. Extra drinks and transport to the meeting point are at your own expense.

How to combine them

The Banksy museum and the liqueur tour are both in Kazimierz: the museum by day, the tour in the afternoon or evening. The underground museum is in the Old Town and has different hours. For an idea of how to fit everything into a trip, see also the two-day itinerary.
