Schindler's Factory Museum and Former Ghetto with Private Guide

Visit to the Museum "Schindler's Factory" and a walk in the Podgorze District (former ghetto) with a private live guide

Although it is not strictly a biographical museum, the figure of the factory owner Oskar Schindler, who saved over a thousand Jews from Krakow, is presented in the permanent exhibition as part of the complicated war history of the city.
The guide will certainly mention the person of the factory director in his office, fortunately preserved in the factory's administrative building, which houses a symbolic "ark of survivors" made of thousands of pots resembling those that his employees produced during the war. Every day, tourists from all over the world want to personally go to this place where the story mentioned in the cult film from 1993 takes place.
However, the permanent exhibition in the former seat of the Emalia Museum shows above all the tragedy of World War II in an individual and collective dimension. It also presents the everyday life of occupied Krakow, recorded in ordinary objects, photographs, newspapers, personal and official documents.
Thanks to artifacts and multimedia treatments, every visitor can directly touch history and feel the emotions of the inhabitants of the wartime city.
Wander with a guide around Krakow, first in the virtual surroundings of the museum, and after leaving it, in the literal sense - you will go to the Heroes of the Ghetto Square, where witnesses to history are the Eagle Pharmacy and a fragment of the ghetto wall, and a tangible symbol - a monument made of chairs in the square.

Excursion is provided in: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Swedish, Portuguese, Dutch, Slovak and more (do not hesitate to ask about the possibility of a tour in another language by writing an email to us) .
