    Spent an hour or so looking around here, a great place to visit if medieval art is your thing, we almost had the whole place to ourselves which was nice but a shame more people don't check it out.

    Excellent shop. Not really a gallery as such but you can see everything. Lots of little books of postcard size posters that you can buy full size. I ended up deciding to buy online. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Oh, and the posters are fantastic and weird and just...why? I have no doubt you will find something you love.

    There is so much to see in Krakow. We found this little gallery just by walking around the Old Town and Main Square. If you like modern art this is the place to see in Krakow although the city is full of museums and galleries. Staff was very very friendly even though I couldn't speak a word in Polish, they were very keen to show us around. We really liked displayed collection full of quirky modern art paintings. Highly recommended.

    A lovely store, like an art gallery, full of the most atmospheric and interesting art - - as postcards and stickers but also as posters. Beautiful vintage and black and white photographs, as well as the charming and witty graphics of Ryszard Kaja. A great place for tasteful souvenirs.

    Excellent contemporary art by Polish Artists almost half were women. Go early to Schindler's Factory, go out to lunch and return to MOCAK, Museum of Contemporary Art Krakow. Definitely, worth your time and a respite from the Schindler's Factory Museum.

    Many diverse art products in this two story gallery. The owner was wonderful to speak with and clearly they value customer service. They do ship also. Stop in and see if you can find a gem

    I strongly recommend the gallery. There is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere there, the place has small space, but manages to have temporary exhibits. The collection and choice of posters is immense. You will find there theatre&movie pieces and a wide variety of Polish posters. You can buy a reproduction there, available in three sizes (if I remember correctly), plus everything is traveller-friendly packed. Worth visiting, especially before a gift season! The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable.

    Jozefa street is a lovely narrow street leading to the Old Synagogue and Szeroka street on one end , and to famous Plac Nowy (an old market turned into traditional polish sandwich counters building . There are a few small restaurants/cafes and a few tiny galleries along the street ,
    Lookarna Illustrations is one of the galleries : Tiny , with beautiful , original ,warm and full of humor illustrations all over the place . Not a must , but worth popping in for a few minutes , We even bought a couple of small works there .
    Another small lovely place , only three doors away is Art Naif Gallery .
    Again , if you have the time to spare walking calmly along this street - you may enjoy it like we did .Have your cameras ready at all times .

    Karol Estreicher was only 33 years old when the II World War started. Polish professors decided to hide priceless arts in a safe place. Inside the main church - St. Mary's Church at the Main Market there was a gothic altar (XV century) made by Veit Stoss. It was wooden and priceless. During one week before the begining of II WW professors and students worked day and night to put altar into pieces. Those elements, figures were wrapped into paper and put into wooden boxes. There were many boxes. It was Karol Estreicher who took them, put them onto boats and swam about 200 km by Vistula river to hide everything on an old monastery. He was risking his life. He was a here, wasn't he? Unfortunately the altar was found by Nazi soldiers. Karol Estreicher - after the II WW - went to Canada to get the altar back. He is also famous for bringing home (to Krakow) a painting of Leonardo da Vinci Lady With an Ermine robbed by Nazis.
    During the war he was making lists of pieces of arts that were robbed, stolen or destroyed. Thanks to him we knew what we had and where it was hidden, what we should have had and what was destroyed completely and lost. His help was priceless after the II WW.
    This place was created to commemorate him. He deserves it.
    All monuments were created by professor of Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. They show different professors. One sculpture is Polish king - Kazimierz the Great who established nearby university (at that time it was called studium generale). It is based on controversial sketches made by Wyspiański.
    Karol Estraicher is this man in front of the entrance.
    This place is called Yard Huta Collegium Maius. Collegium Maius is behind this gate, we can see it on the right. Why yard? Because it is a yard between buldings. And why huta? Because centuries ago there used to be a small house (a hut in English, die Hütte in German).

    When I travel I love to bring home something that is a real souvenir of the country or area I visit. Please don't give me an item made in China that has Krakow printed on it. I want something made in Poland, and preferably in Krakow. Finding art works produced by local artists is my favorite way to support a city and bring home something real from my adventures. This little gallery down a little alley way is a great way to support local artists and to find something genuine to bring home to remind you of your trip to Krakow. Run by a former school headmaster, the gallery offers a wide range of art works in terms of style, format and price. You can find something abstract, impressionist or realistic, with many items showing scenes or items specific to Krakow. I found a lovely ceramic girl in traditional Krakow costume that will forever remind me of one of my favorite cities, and which easily fit into my suitcase. The gallery is small, but chock full of lovely pieces, big and small.
