Pałac Krzysztofory

This palace in Kraków is the seat of the Museum of Kraków, with an exhibition telling the city's story from the legendary King Krakus to the present. Among the objects are the Lajkonik costume, Kraków nativity scenes including a life-size one, the 16th-century silver rooster of the Fowler Brotherhood, and the mayors' ring and sceptre. There are also works by Matejko, Mehoffer, Stryjeńska, Malczewski and Weiss. The restored historic interiors also hold a library and archive.
