Traveler reviews
Réka
★★★★★4 months agoI knew Tadeusz Kantor's name from my uni studies, but I wasn't too familiar with his art. The main exhibition is dedicated to his work, you can see painting, set designs and a few videos of his theatre shows. If you like theatre, or contemporary art, definitely worth a visit. The building itself is very interesting, and the cafe on the top has the best view of the city. I would say if you want to do offbeat Krakkow, check this place out, and grab a drink in the cafe.
Veselina Ivanova
★★★★★4 months agoThere’s a really cute cafe on the top of the building with a stunning view. Friendly staff, good prices and a cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend!
