About Muzeum Książąt Czartoryskich
The Princes Czartoryski Museum occupies a historic complex in central Kraków. The collection brings together art and objects from different periods, allowing an understanding of the formation of a collection associated with the family and its relation to Polish cultural memory.
The Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci is one of the works linked to the visit, but the museum is not limited to a single painting. Rooms and collections show the curatorial choices behind the collection, inviting a route beyond the search for the famous painting.
Check the circuit composition and book in advance on the official website when necessary. Its location in the old town allows combining the museum with a walking segment without adding a long transfer. Allow time to look at the collection rather than treating admission as a quick stop.
