Experts' Choice Award Archaeological Museum
What the experts agree on
Polish history from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages, but the real draw is the exceptional Egyptian collection—sarcophagi, mummies, and artifacts from El Hibeh beautifully displayed with atmospheric lighting that makes exploration feel
“A well-presented museum making excellent use of subtle lighting techniques, as typified in the Egyptology section on the first floor.”
