About
Guided tours in English: Tuesday - Saturday at 12:00 and 3::00 p.m. In the Stained Glass Museum, exhibition spaces intertwine with the old stained glass workshop, functioning since 1902. The visitors can observe the process of stained glass creation, in the warm atmosphere of the historic workshop, directly above the heads of artists and craftsmen. For this reason visiting the museum is possible only with a guide and starts with at least two people. Ticket prices per person (including our English guide): adults 42 PLN, student 35 PLN, family (2+2) 140 PLN Visitors can also book workshops with master craftsmen and make their own stained glass souvenir. There are three workshops options: 2 hrs, 3 hrs or 2 days long, at the price 199 PLN, 280 PLN or 1100 PLN per person respectively. The price in each case includes: - guided tour of the museum and workshop - coffee break - creation of stained glass object under the artist's guidance - your own stained glass object to take home.

- Isaac L4 contributionsFascinating and beautifulHow often do you get to see a stained glass workshop in operation? If you‘ve got any interest in history, art or religion I’d give this a go. It is not expensive or difficult to get to. We turned up at 12 for a tour of the workshop and museum from one of the workers. It cost the equivalent of £10 each at 50 Zlotys and lasted just over an hour. The group was six people. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. We learned about the history of stained glass, of the workshop itself, were taken though the processes used in the workshop and shown commissions and restoration work they were undergoing. The second party of the tour involves going through a stained glass museum. The pieces were a mix of new work done/acquired by the workshop and some older examples. Our guide was able to explain the meanings behind the art and their (very interesting) histories. I really do recommend this.Visited December 2022Traveled with familyWritten December 6, 2022
- Lizara K195 contributionsInterestingI've never seen another museum like this one. It was absolutely worth the time to walk a few minutes out of the Old Town and take this tour to learn about the process of making stained glass, see a few interesting examples, and even try part of the painting process ourselves. I also liked the more modern examples of stained glass art that they showed us and wouldn't have minded seeing a few more, even just in pictures.Visited July 2020Written July 6, 2020
- Zoryana C3 contributionsWonderful place to visit! Highly recommend!I am not a big fun of museums, in general, but I really enjoyed this wonderful authentic place. A tour guided by the Ukrainian girl Natalia was extremely interesting and I would definitely recommend it to all people who like art and those who want to spend time enjoyably. There’s a cozy cafe inside with nice atmosphere, which is a big plus. So, thank you all for great time and thank you Natalia for giving an insight into the stain glass creation process.Visited November 2022Traveled soloWritten November 12, 2022

As an artist and stained glass maker myself, this was one of my reasons for visiting Krakow. (I could have gone anywhere else in the world.)
I occasionally go on holiday alone. Although my partner or friends join me sometimes, I like to freedom to please myself and go alone. Their free time work commitments don't always suit mine.
On entering the reception I was told that one person isn't enough to do a tour. A single ticket might not bring in a much money but how many single tourists or visitors don't attend because of this. A year's worth of single entry does add up.
I was offered one further date, but I booked on a walk run by 'Guru walks' The walks are free but one can offer a donation at the end. I gave the guide 200 zlopty for a differently themed walk.
The box office said said 'I should bring another person', which isn't really practical to ask someone from Scotland to join me then are there.
There didn't seem further dates during my stay that I can attend.
When I tried to visit I had 5000 zloty, plus my bank card. Without a tour, I didn't seem to have much opportunity to buy anything else, or in a buying mood, while there.
I am often in a generous mood, such as the 200 zloty, for the guided walking tour yesterday. Depending on the stained glass and their attitude I might have given a substantial contribution for a private tour.
It's quite a bad attitude arrive alone you get nothing, if there's with more than one then you get access to the museum and workshop.
I have been extremely generous with money, high tips at cafes and I've tipped musicians at the end of concerts, despite having a paid a ticket, I've given musicians a lot of money to say thank you. There's the local economy tourist support: museums, restaurants, concerts, taxis.
The two person rule is on their website, but it isn't very prominent. I only discovered it after I left. It never occurred to me there would be such a rule. I've never experienced in this country or abroad. There's no way someone buying a ticket knows if there is one one that day.
For an art museum, and a working studio space, it seems to care more about money than allowing an artist ( painter) and I do stained glass too back home,
Artist, often work alone. Artists, also sometimes travel alone too.
Very disappointed. I'll not return to Krakow, and probably not Poland again.

A beautiful building full of history, yet still very busy with new projects. The guided tour gives a clear and complete picture of the works that were and are being done there, showing the different parts of the workshop and a small but colourful museum area. Our guide was Aleksandra and she was the best, superknowledgeable and able to answer all sorts of random questions, being very flexible and patient too.
I also joined a 3h workshop after a break (in which I had one of the best croissants/rogaliki ever and a good coffee), in which Maria, the expert in charge, guided us through the process of making a stained glass decoration following the copper & tin process. Aside from being a true expert, she was really funny and open to changes in the style of the creation, showing how to improve it in a hundred ways. Hours passed so quickly, and the result of my work was not the disaster it would have been without her guidance, but it actually came out beautiful and original.
Thoroughly recommended, after living in Cracow for a few years I had always looked at the building with interest, but I did not know how cool it really is behind the façade.

4 of us did the stain glass museum & workshop tour. It’s a working ‘workshop’ and highly skilled crafts people were working away during the tour. Very interesting. We did the workshop after, and this really bought the experience together, making you understand how much work is involved. We all thoroughly enjoyed this event and would highly recommend. The drinks & snack break at half time was also very welcome.
Lucyna, our guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful with the creation of our own Stained glass pieces.
The exhibition in the basement on light also well worth a visit.

It is an absolute must-visit spot that should be at the top of your list when exploring Krakow. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly our tour guide, Natalia. She went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable, ensuring that every moment was engaging and enjoyable, including my 5-year-old son who was completely captivated throughout the tour. I highly recommend this attraction to anyone looking for an exciting and memorable adventure in Krakow.

Excellent experience we had the tour from Aleksandra, who is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. After the tour we opted for the workshop experience where we made two small pieces of stained glass. Between the tour and the workshop we had some complimentary tea and fresh croissants
Highly recommended 👌

It’s a small tour in a working museum. Anna was our expert guide leading the small group through the process of stain glass making. Knowledgable and passionate it was wonderful to have someone like Anna to answer any questions.

We went for a guided tour led by Lucyna. We were showed the whole process of creating stained glass while the actual projects were made as we walked through the workshop. Later we heard all about the pieces in the museum section. Very interesting stories as well as beautiful and diverse styles of the stained glass on the display made it really worth our time! If you are going to Krakow I recommend finding a moment to stop by this wonderful place!:)

It was an amazing experience for me. I was in this museum twice. First time I was there in the end of March. My guide Lucyna was a wonderful person who presented the history of this place in a very interesting and funny way. Second time I visited this place with my friend in the middle of April. Our guide was Paulina who was absolutely amazing and we were impressed by her knowledge and way of presenting the history of this place. I think I will visit this place more often in the future. I recommend this place to everyone interested in history of art and history of Cracow. It is worth to see it.

I did the tour with Aleksandra followed by the shorter workshop with Lucyna. Both ladies were excellent at explaining how the workshop runs/guiding me through the process, and it was definitely a unique experience seeing it in action. Very much worth a visit. With the shorter workshop you can pick out 2 colours, one of which has a pattern, then cut and solder the glass together. The longer workshop has multiple colours to choose and an interesting design to work with - definitely good value for money as only slightly more expensive than the shorter lesson, but I was limited for time!

Hi,
What is the difference between 2hr and 3hr workshop? Does the 3hr one allow you to make a bigger stained glass project or are they both the same?
Thanks!
UlaO
Krakow, Poland98 contributions
Hello, sorry for delay, we somehow missed this question. Yes, the 3hrs version allows you to make a slightly larger piece, consisting of 5 pieces of glass, while during the 2 hrs version yo make a piece consisting of 2 glass pieces. If you like more details, please contact us on info@stainedglass.pl , we can send you some example photos. Best regards, Stained Glass Museum

Hello. I was reading your review of the Stained Glass Museum in Krakow. I am also interested in the 3 hour stained glass workshop, but was not sure what "project" you make in it. The website doesn't mention it-- could you share what you made in the workshop that you took?
Thanks!
