Once the home of Polish monarchs and a significant emblem of sovereignty, the Castle in 1930 transformed into one of Poland’s most pivotal museums. It curates collections of artwork, such as paintings, graphical arts, sculptures, textiles, goldsmithing, military artefacts, porcelain, and furniture. The galleries showcase renowned tapestries from Zygmunt August and exquisite Renaissance Italian paintings from the Lanckoronski collection. The Wawel’s Eastern art collections house the most significant and extensive collection of tents in Europe. The Royal Castle also serves as an essential hub for art conservation. The permanent exhibits strive to resurrect the ambiance of the Renaissance and Baroque eras within its chambers.
