Jan Matejko House

Jan Matejko, Poland has been the most historical painter whose work and life is honoured in the house where he was born, lived and would eventually die in the 1890s. As well as some spiritual imagination of Krakow medieval life, studies for the gargoyles and collections of Renaissance furniture and antique guns and ammo, the minutiae of Matejko's life is preserved, his glasses in this relatively small museum. An exciting tribute to a true Polish master, and a man of many parts. Those who have a special interest in Matejko may want to visit his workshop and manor house in Nowa Huta (see Nowa Huta Museums), and the 19th Century Polish Art Gallery where many of his major works are displayed.
