Traveler reviews
Agnieszka Sliwinska
★★★★★6 months agoA small but powerful museum pharmacy with deep historical significance. Originally opened in 1910, it operated inside the Kraków Ghetto during WWII and was run by Tadeusz Pankiewicz, who helped the Jewish community with aid and support. The exhibition is moving and well presented.Small but definitely worth seeing, free entry on Wednesdays.
