Nina Galdzytska
★★★★★3 months agoInteresting museum with really beautiful peaces. If you enjoy art, I recommended to see. Late gothic and early renaissance. Museum not big, 10€ for adults, but they have discounts for students as well. As a bonus, view at an old town from the top floor.
Hannah Sierp
★★★★★2 months agoI loved this museum! Reasonable entry fee for a peaceful experience seeing beautiful religious art, icons and stunning rooftop views from the tower. Well worth a visit!
