Private Guided Tour
Schindler’s Factory Museum
Visit Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum in Krakow on a private guided tour with an expert local guide. Explore the permanent exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945” and discover the history of the city, its Polish and Jewish residents, and Oskar Schindler during the Second World War.
The museum is located in the former administrative building of Schindler’s enamel factory at 4 Lipowa Street. Through photographs, documents, artefacts and immersive reconstructions, the exhibition tells the wider story of life in occupied Krakow — not only the story of Oskar Schindler himself.
