The permanent exhibition of the museum showcases the works of Stanisław Wyspiański, Józef Mehoffer, Stefan Matejko and Wojciech Jastrzębowski, 4 artists from the Young Poland period.

This museum does not have storage lockers and large bags are not permitted due to the fragility of the collections. Leave heavy luggage or bulky items behind with us.
