I was really impressed with this museum. It was set up really well with different collections of pictures relating to the Jewish community in Krakow. Spent a good two hours here reading about the images and looking at the pictures. We arrived at opening time (10am) which was good as it was fairly empty which made it easier to reflect on the images and information that you were viewing. I would definitely recommend visiting this museum.
We brought a 3 day Krakow card and it made our holiday so easy, particularly when using the trams. It avoided the need to always have the correct change for the automatic ticket machines which reduced our stress levels considerably. It also provides access to so many museums/sites of interest: there is so much to do in Krakow that you are spoilt for choice.
After the confusion of the start about children's authors, the exhibition shows lives of the Jewish people before during and after the war, which was interesting to see from a different perspective. This was the last thing we saw before we left krakow, spent an hour here
The tourist pass is a great idea! We jumped off and on trams without having to buy a ticket and validate it on each tram. Some museums still require you to get a ticket before entering - the pass doesn't allow you to walk straight in but it wasn't a big deal of us.
Get one if you are in Krakow for 2 or 3 days. If you are based in the centre you will not require the travel element. We were a few km outside and the travel part was really helpful. Transport system is cheap and easy to use anyway. Loved the whole experience!
