Good to see but I was expecting something more. The place might be interesting for tourist form abroad but not for Polish fellows.

I enjoyed getting an insight into the life & culture of the times. The films shown in different rooms were very educational. The smoke screen on entry was unique. Would have enjoyed it more if we had a guide to explain parts of it.

Intelligent and well conceived museum underneath the present Market Square, built around discovered ruins dating back 700 years of the first shopping mall in pre-renaissance Europe. Exhibits are first rate.

This is the best modern museum I've visited, all the exhibits are well thought out, some truly marvellous things to look at/ interact with. Only slight down side is the queues for single visitors as prebooked groups have priority, but it is definitely worth standing in the rynek for 10/15 minutes until you can get in. Brilliant.

Modern & interesting, but crowded exhibition. Long queue at a desk. Try booking tickets in advance at: http://www.bilety.podziemiarynku.com/?lang=en&PHPSESSID=bfd60a6f0c1db8db118e347895094223efd1ea36

Hi. I was trying to get there, but it's not so easy. You need to book a tickets before. There was no time to do it. Maybe next time.
