Schindler's Factory Museum Ticket and Optional Guided Tour
Museum occupies the former enamel factory of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved over a thousand Polish Jews during World War II. The museum's immersive exhibition guides visitors through the wartime history of Krakow, detailing the establishment and liquidation of the Krakow Ghetto.
The museum's permanent exhibition provides a comprehensive and immersive experience, taking visitors on a chronological journey through the wartime events that unfolded in Krakow. The narrative begins with the invasion of Poland in 1939, exploring the occupation and the establishment of the Krakow Ghetto. It delves into the lives of the Jewish population, the oppressive conditions they faced, and the eventual liquidation of the ghetto.
One of the most compelling aspects of the museum is its presentation of Oskar Schindler's role in rescuing Jewish workers.

Choose your desired tour start time and travel independently to Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum in central Krakow. Meet your guide outside and hear how the museum is housed in the very factory where the Nazi industrialist Oskar Schindler employed Jewish workers during WWII.
Before starting, get an illuminating introduction to Schindler, learning how Steven Spielberg brought his story to the world’s attention in his 1993 Oscar-winning movie, Schindler’s List.
Then, head inside for your in-depth tour. Made up of interactive and photographic displays, the museum concentrates not only on Schindler’s and his employees’ work, but also on Krakow’s suffering during the run-up to war and beyond. As you explore, your guide will provide fascinating commentary, recounting poignant tales that will deepen your understanding of what happened here and Krakow’s history.
Learn Schindler’s story and how his Jewish employees manufactured pots, pans, tins and other enamelware for the German army: a vital war effort that protected them from near-certain transportation to the concentration camps. See some of the products made here, view Schindler’s office, and hear the fates of some of the 1,200 Schindlerjuden — Schindler’s Jews — who worked in the factory.
Follow your guide around the rooms dedicated to Krakow’s suffering during the war and later 20th century. View photographs of the terrorized city; be transported into the cobbled streets, resistance hideaways and prisons of the Nazi- and Soviet-occupied city; and get a sense of the overwhelming fear that gripped the population through original documents, artifacts, and film and radio recordings.
After two hours of exploring, your tour ends outside the building. Say goodbye to your guide, who will provide you with directions back to the city center or your hotel as required.
