The Archaeological Museum in Krakow — Attraction in Krakow

One of the worst museum experiences I ever had! This was not only my first museum to visit in Krakow but the first in Poland and it left a bad taste. Firstly, the yard is beautiful and the building itself is grandiose. However the price is ridiculously high for the temporary exhibition. There is very few local archeological info and the Pompeii, Egyptian and Peruvian stuff is not much to look at. The main problem is the lighting, I understand that these are fragile exhibits but you can hardly see anything.

Staff wouldn't allow free movement around the museum, forcing us into rooms we didn't want to see before allowing us access to the rest of the building. Worst museum...
