Home Army Museum, Krakow

From architecture, ancient art and craft to more contemporary styles, Krakow seems to have it all. But it doesn’t stop here! The more you dig into what the city has to offer, the more you will be surprised with what you find.

With a vast collection of military artifacts, the Home Army Museum is the only museum in Poland that is dedicated to the long military struggle and battles of Poland. Boasting of a collection of more than 8000 items, the museum is a compendium of weaponry, arms, ammunition and war bounty collected from the various infiltrations in the country over the span of 100 years.

Established on 27 September 2000, the group of ex- members of the Polish Home Army, however, had to put up a huge struggle to make this possible. But nevertheless, the museum is quite popular not only amongst locals but visitors alike. Among the exhibits, some of prized possessions of the museum include old maps, documents of army generals; Gen. Bor-Komorowski's uniform which was presented by his son to the museum, 60 historical weapons from the Łan company, 260 historic and contemporary weapons, etc. The museum is also the proud owner of artworks from reputed artist of Polish origin like Tadeusz Kantor, Bronisław Chromy, Jan Chrząszcz, Wiesław Śniadecki etc.
