About
Exhibition Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945 is located in the former administrative building of Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory at 4 Lipowa Street. The exhibition is primarily a story about Kraków and its inhabitants, both Polish and Jewish, during World War Two. It is also a story about Nazi Germans – the occupiers who arrived here on 6 September 1939, brutally disrupting Kraków’s centuries-long history of Polish-Jewish relations. Due to high popularity of the museum, pre-booking is required.

Absolutely worth every penny, very interesting stories from audios and videos from survivors.
Incredibly informative and an eye opener.

After visiting Auschwitz-Birkenua on my previous visit to Krakow, I thought I'd give Schindlers mueum a visit this time. I booked via Get Your Guide was a guided visit in English. I was told beforehand that it isn't actually the factory you get a tour around so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was nervous because it says to arrive 15 minutes before and we were approaching the actual start time to then be waiting for others in the group for another 15 minutes (I can't complain about that since we were technically late too). The guide was really interesting and was really well informed (sorry I can't remember her name) and I actually found it really useful that it focussed mostly n Nazi occupied Poland and the significance of Krakow. You get to visit the office that was used by Schindler (and Liam Neeson!) which I think most people were there because of the films popularity. The only downfall of the visit was that you didn't have much time to stop and read or have a look at the of the information and pictures on the wall because of the tour moving on, however saying that I didn't feel we were rushed, but the tour was already 2 hours long without me stopping to read everything as well. It's definitely worth the visit if you're interested in history.
***Warning*** Do not get in a taxi that is parked up outside as when I asked how much to get back to the square, they quoted more than double what it cost to get there.

We had pre-booked our arrival slot online and had chosen not to have a guided tour, which was the right choice for us - a guided tour started at about the same time as we arrived and finished long before us judging by how quickly we could no longer hear them.
Arriving fairly soon after opening, and about 20 mins before our timed slot, we walked straight in with no queue whatsoever.
The museum is a superbly done comprehensive retelling of Kraków’s life during World War Two, with emphasis on the atrocities committed on the Jewish inhabitants. There is some pre-war background history as well. The sections on life in the ghetto and the Plasnow camp were particularly evocative. There is a section specifically on Oscar Schindler and the factory itself which is very well done.
There is a small refreshment area and shop; rucksacks are not allowed but they do have some storage lockers (free) and a cloakroom. When we arrived there were plenty of free lockers but they were all full when we left (apart from mine of course!). There are very few toilets at the entrance but I think we passed some partway round.

You cannot visit Krakow without visiting this museum which takes you through City life just prior to WWII until just after WWII. It will have an impact on you.

If you want to know the whole story of Poland's suffering at the hands of the Nazis this museum will recount the events in the most clear, concise and accurate terms. Extensive and as interesting as you can get and highly recommended. A dark chapter in the world's history.

There was a long queue, but worth it. Initially busy in the museum, then it seemed to quieten. There was a lot to see and well worth the wait. An interesting film to watch in the cinema and then lots of exhibitions to view. They had made a real effort to try to capture the atmosphere of various events. Lots of reading. Great value for money.

We did not have a ticket but were lucky when we saw a tour guide called Ewa. We bought a ticket from her and could pass by the queue. Her explanations were on the right level and she was telling interesting details.
We can highly recommend to take a guided tour with Eva.
The museum is definitely worth to be visited.

Would’ve been a good experience if it weren’t for the hoards of tours blocking half the museum. I wish the museum set a limit on the amount of tours/people allowed in at once because the high amount of people really made the experience unenjoyable. It was difficult to move past your groups which meant being stuck behind them, and the amount of people throughout was quite overwhelming. It was hard to enjoy my time at the museum and really take everything in.

I am a little disappointed regarding this visit. Generally museum is very interesting but it is very crowdy even at normal working day in May. Management should think about some solution. Guides in several languages speak very loudly to their groups. You cannot hear anything. Either this museum should move to larger space or think about some early or late openings for people who want to visit it in quiet. It has big potential but now it is not so well organized.

I visited with a guided tour booked through the museum.
First, it is worth noting that the focus of the permanent exhibit at the museum is not Oskar Schindler; the focus is on Krakow under Nazi occupation.
I would recommend against the guided tour. It moved quickly and was uncomfortable because the museum spaces are small and the experience was constantly interrupted by people trying to get by. I think the museum should either limit the size of the guided tour groups, or the number of people who can be in the museum at one time.
The exhibits seemed well put together and I suspect one could learn just as much if not more on their own. Much of the information covered by the guided tour here was also covered on a "free" city walking tour I had taken, and I found this information more enjoyable to take in while walking the actual city.
Overall, if you have more than a few days in Krakow, this might be worth a stop. But I would not consider it a must visit.

Would the tickets need to be booked online in advance, or can they be bought on the day directly at Schindler's Factory museum? Looking at the website for some dates in a couple of week's time and there are only a couple of timeslots per day with only 1 or 2 tickets available. Would that mean it will not be possible to buy the tickets on the spot, or would that still be an option? Do I need to go there at a certain time to buy the tickets?

We bought our tickets online, but those who bought at the entrance didn't come in vain. We were told that in autumn, winter and early spring, there aren't many problems for visitors getting tickets.
However, we would rather be safe than sorry.
Quale è il periodo migliore per andarci?

We didn’t go with a tour group, we just paid at the museum. We didn’t feel rushed and all of the exhibits have descriptions in English. Give yourself a couple of hours to get round it all.

Buongiorno...visto che non ho capito se esistono le audioguide e qualcuno le menziona ed altri no, volevo avere qualche certezza in più in modo da muovermi meglio possibile e capire se prenotare on line o sul posto oppure visita guidata. Grazie....sarò li all'inizio di marzo.
