Most impressive, memorable and very visual tour through the time of occupation of Krakow - and the Schindler story. We had a great tour guide (Magda) who also shared very personal family stories. Not to miss when in Krakow!

This museum wasn’t what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be about Oskar Schindler…it was about the Poland occupation in WW2. Very occasionally you’d see Schindler’s name and there’s one room dedicated to him but otherwise, very little. The exhibition is very informative and overall, well done BUT it could be better. It’s very tight in some rooms and if you’re an independent visitor then expect to have to push past rude groups of school kids that don’t leave a path clear for you to get through. There is a LOT of information, written in quite small writing a lot of the time and due to the tight spaces/big groups you can’t read everything. Some of the writing is also hard to read due to the design of the exhibit (especially in the main Schindler room). Pre-book so you can walk straight in otherwise you have to queue outside. If you’re looking for a comprehensive guide to Poland in WW2 then this is great, but if you’re hoping to find out about Schindler then just Google him like I had to when we finished.

An incredible museum that is filled to the brim with information. Well organised and structured, telling a narrative as you go through. My only critique would be that there are many narrow corridors, meaning that you can easily get stuck behind guided tours.

We booked tickets through our hotel when we were in Krakow. I'm glad we did because when we arrived it was absolute chaos - there was a lengthy queue outside and people were bustling in/out of the doors and guides were trying to gather their groups. We were waiting outside for a good while still, even though we were on a guided group. Getting in was again a faff, they're just quite unorganised with tickets/cloakroom/security. Once you're in, you're fine! Loads and loads of WW2 / Occupation of Poland info and detail. Not loads on Schindler, so bear that in mind. Our tour guide was 10/10 - I think her name was Martina, with Krakow Direct.

I'd been to Poland 30 yrs ago, & enjoyed the experience. It's gorgeous in Winter. Not like our cold damp winters, but dry & crisp. I only went back because my friend hadn't been & wanted to go to Auchwitz & the Salt Mines, which in my opinion Everyone should see these things. Auchwitz with its sadness, & The Saltmines, which is spectacular...

As we were in Krakow decided to visit this museum, very very interesting, a lot more infothan suggested in the film. Very sobering to read all the facts and figures about life in Poland during WW2. Not a lot about the actual factory and its work which we expected but still a good visit. Vry cheap compared some British attractions.

We booked our tickets in advance, which I definitely would advise. When we arrived, the queue was so long, but thank God, we skipped straight to the front to join our English tour guide. Katie was the tour guide, and she was just amazing. She was full of knowledge and personality, she really made the tour so much more enjoyable. My only issue was that there seemed to be so many people in such a small space, it actually felt quite claustrophobic at times. Also, I found there was very little really about Schindler himself.... Having said that, it was a very memorable experience and well worth a visit.

This museum is truly a must-see place in Krakow. Here are some tips before a visit: 1. The permanent exhibition is called "Krakow under the German occupation 1939-1945". It tells the comprehensive story of our city during the dark war times. It means that the museum is NOT a biographical museum of Oskar Schindler. Some rooms are dedicated to him and his amazing story but the main storyline is more general about Krakow and its residents (Poles, Jews, Germans) during the 2WW. 2. It is located in the original administrative building of the Factory. So don't expect a visit in the original production halls which serve as the Contemporary Art Musuem (also a great place to see while you're in this neighbourhood!) 3. To avoid long lines and to have much better understanding of a really complicated history of war-time Krakow is is highly recommended to join a guided tour.

It was very busy and the staff member who scanned our tickets was rude but I wasn't going to let that put us off. It was a very interesting place to visit and showed the time-line of Krakow during WWII. I would reccommend a visit as it is full of history and gives a real historical insight. It is more about the history of Krackow than Schindler himself but still very good.

Brilliant museum with wonderful guide. There is a lot of material here so it was great to have a guide to pace us and show us through all the many floors and exhibits at a speed that allowed us to see everything within 90 to 120 minutes rather than get overly absorbed in one room at the expense of others. She was knowledgeable and empathetic without being at all preachy just quietly laying out facts then letting us form our own opinions. Really impressive and wonderful experience.
