Schindler Factory Museum / 1h30min / Admision Ticket Included

Step into one of Kraków’s most visited museums — Schindler’s Enamel Factory, where history comes alive through powerful exhibitions and expert storytelling. This is not a simple biographical museum, but a comprehensive journey through the years of Nazi occupation, showing how war transformed the city and the lives of its people.

With a licensed expert guide, you’ll skip the long ticket lines and explore the exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945.” Housed in the former enamel factory of Oskar Schindler, the museum focuses not only on his story, but above all on the daily experiences of Kraków’s Jewish and non-Jewish residents during the war.

As you move through the galleries, you’ll encounter original artifacts, photographs, and immersive reconstructions. Much of the exhibition unfolds in a series of narrow, dimly lit rooms, deliberately designed to make visitors feel confined — echoing the fear, pressure, and uncertainty that dominated life under Nazi rule. The setting creates a visceral atmosphere that turns history into lived experience.

Within this broader narrative, you’ll also hear about Oskar Schindler and how his factory provided refuge to more than a thousand Jewish workers. His story is set against the wider backdrop of persecution, deportations, and the destruction of Kraków’s Jewish community, making clear both the scale of tragedy and the importance of individual acts of courage.
