Kraków’s Main Square literally hides a huge attraction – the museum situated beneath the Cloth Hall! This is certainly one of the most modern and most interesting exhibitions in Poland. Its opening was the culmination of five years archeological excavations, which brought out a lot of really surprising discoveries. Museum is extremely inventive – a multimedia exhibition shows the history of the Kraków’s Market Square and the city, as well as the daily life of its inhabitants since early Middle Ages. The underground tour is a fantastic adventure for the whole family! Explore Krakow Market Square Underground Museum with us!
Krakow Market Square Underground Museum
Visiting the Museum means a journey to the past reality ‘frozen’ over the centuries under many layers of earth. Tour through the underground Kraków (more precisely the exposure of Historical Museum of the City of Kraków – Rynek Underground permanent exhibition) is a unique chance to parts of the original cobbled medieval roads, a lot of everyday objects, burials from the huge 11th-century cemetery, relicts of the clothes stalls and finally remains of houses burnt down during the dramatic Tatar invasion in 1241! Our imagination is supported by the most modern audiovisual technology – for example 3D holograms presenting transformations of the important Krakow buildings over centuries. Krakow Main Market Square underground tour has a huge educational value. It is an opportunity to find out – by tracking an interactive map of European trade routes – how important role the city was playing in the medieval trade network or what were the death causes in the 11th century! It is also a unique chance to check how our weight and height converted to the medieval system of measures!
