Czartoryski Museum

Czartoryski Museum, Muzeum Książąt Czartoryskich w Krakowie
Poland, Krakow
The Czartoryski Museum is one of the oldest museums in Krakow and is part of the National Museum. Its significant art collection is devoted to the art of Europe and Asia. The museum was founded by Princess Isabella Czartoryska in 1796 at their family estate in Puławy. During the dramatic historical events in Poland, the museum's collection often moved, and even lost its objects, and only at the end of the 19th century. she settled in the building of the Krakow arsenal. Today, in the halls of the Czartoryski Museum, you can see rare ancient manuscripts, Egyptian antiquities, art objects from different countries and eras, medieval weapons and armor, antique artefacts and much more. Its art collections include paintings by Rembrandt, Matejko, Brodovsky, Clouet and other outstanding masters of Western European and Polish art. The main asset of the museum is the canvas "Lady with an Ermine" by Leonardo da Vinci. There is also a library with many old books, maps and manuscripts.

One of the most interesting tourist attractions in Krakow is the building of the city arsenal, which now houses the Czartoryski Museum. The founder of the museum was Isabella Czartoryska, and each succeeding generation of Czartoryskis contributed to this chic collection. Now in the halls of the museum you can see examples of art from different countries and times: Etruscan and Greek vases, Egyptian antiquities, medieval weapons and armor, silverware, various church utensils, rare carpets and tapestries.
