About
The Oskar Schindler Factory Museum is a historical museum set in the former enamelware factory of Oskar Schindler, at Lipowa 4 in Kraków, Poland. It is also known as the Muzeum Fabryka Schindlera. The museum presents the story of Kraków during the Nazi occupation and of Schindler's efforts to save Jewish workers.
What the visit covers
The exhibition follows the city's wartime years, from the occupation itself to the lives of those who lived through it. Much of the focus falls on Schindler's factory and the workers whose lives were tied to it. Because the building is the place where these events unfolded, the displays are closely connected to their surroundings, which gives the visit a strong sense of place.

Allow time to take in the exhibition at an unhurried pace, as the material is detailed and often sobering. Visitors interested in the wider history of the city can combine the museum with other parts of Kraków, which offers a rich range of historical sites and neighbourhoods to explore in the same area.
