MOCAK – A Thought-Provoking Modern Art Experience

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków (MOCAK) is a must-see for anyone interested in modern and innovative art.

I came here while the special exhibit focused on World War II and the Holocaust and found the collection to be among the most moving, thought provoking sets of art I have ever seen. I would say the experience was on par with my visit to the actual Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in terms of how it struck me. Both the special exhibit and the permanent collection have great variety, with paintings, photography, audio-visual pieces, sculptures, and even several interactive displays. I think this art museum is a must-visit when in Krakow, and it blows other similar attractions (such as the nearby Schindler Factory Museum, or even the Galicia Jewish Museum) out of the water when it comes to ruminating on the events and...
