Don't understand the reviews recommending this as a must visit for classic music lovers. I am a big fan of both Chopin as a composer and classic music in general but there is absolutely nothing about this museum that appealed to me apart from the architecture of the building, which you may just as well admire from the outside.
This museum is absolutely nothing but a collection of miscellaneous facts and pictures presented to visitors without any context whatsoever and unless you devoted a good part of your life to a detailed study of Chopin's life and biography. none of those pictures, names and dates will mean anything to you and will not be able to piece them together to find any connection to either the museum itself or, indeed, Chopin as a person and as a composer.
To top it all, many things in this so called museum are copies of documents that you may as well view on the Internet and music recorded on video and DVD, which you can just as well watch at home.
Most of the museum digital guides aren't functioning properly after you tap the plastic card they give you at the entrance, so you can't even listen to half of those pre-recorded stories you find in many museums these days.
This museum is nothing but a shameless money making opportunity and if you are really obsessed with Chopin, come on Sundays. At least then you can visit this excuse for a museum for free.
