Stained Glass Museum
The Stained Glass Museum in Krakow, Poland combines an art museum with an old stained glass workshop from 1902. The process of creating stained glass has not changed in centuries, and visitors can learn about this process and see how the stained glass is made. The workshop has been preserved with its original furnishings and equipment, so visitors are able to see the different rooms, which each have their own piece of the production process. This workshop is where many of Poland's greatest stained glass artists have produced their art. You might get lucky and see a master at work during your visit.
In the exhibition space, the museum has on display examples of both historical and contemporary stained glass pieces. Some are from the most renowned artists of the Polish Art Nouveau period. The museum's guides have interesting stories to tell about many of the pieces on display. One piece on display was forgotten for decades when it was hidden away in the basement for protection during World War II. Practical Info
The Stained Glass Museum is located at al. Krasińskiego 23. Guided tours in English are Tuesday to Saturday every hour from 12pm to 6pm.
