The museum focuses on Krakow during WWII much more than on Schindler, but it is quite well done, and worth seeing. More

This museum is not really about Oskar Schindler and is more about how Krakow and Poland fared though the second world war. There are pictures of the Schindlers Jews at the entrance to the factory but there is little content within the museum on the struggle that these people survived.

We enjoyed our trip to the museum. Only a very small part refers to Schindler. Most of the museum takes you through what the Jewish population of Poland went through when the Germans invaded Poland. The museum is well done and very educational. More

Admission to this museum was 17 zloty's per person and well worth it. We arrived a bit early as it opened at 10am. Lots of information to absorb and within easy walking distance from the Galaxy Hotel where we stayed. More

After recently touring the Holocaust Museum in DC and visiting Auschwitz, I wasn't expecting much from Schindler's Factory. I was wrong. It was a fantastic exhibit! I learned so much from it and I can't recommend it highly enough. More

We decided to visit Oscar Shindler's factory just to fill the day but it turned out to be one of teh best tourist attractions we've seen in POland. On the downside, it is a fair walk away from the centre but definitely worth a visit. The exhibition is arranged in a fascinating way taking you from the days just before... More

We walk to here from the train station but it was well worth the walk again as with most things we visited we could not believe until we saw what actually happened More
