Museum of Architecture
About This Museum
Believe it or not, this treasure trove of architectural history is tucked away inside a former medieval monastery that has seen it all. You can feel the centuries in its worn stone floors and the quiet hush of its cloisters. It's the only museum in Poland dedicated entirely to the art and science of building, making it a pilgrimage site for design lovers. Wandering through, you'll find everything from grand plans for palaces to the humble tools that built a nation.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the intricate wooden models of Gothic church roofs—they're like giant, beautiful puzzles. The archives are a star attraction, packed with over 30,000 drawings and blueprints, including some by famous German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find at Bernardyńska 7 in Wrocław, a peaceful escape from the city bustle. Just check their website for current hours before you go, as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a prime exhibit—a no-frills, atmospheric medieval monastery with thick walls and a serene inner courtyard that has been gracefully adapted for its modern use.
