Fabulous Art Exhibits, Unique paying homage to the country’s history
Fabulous and affordable museum visit! I had some time to kill before my flight so came here, and I was not disappointed. The reception was so lovely and kept my suitcase so I could go around the museum without it! Would highly recommend, many different forms of modern art - even if the new exhibit wasn’t open

Must visit!
Very interesting museum to visit with some great exhibitions and art work. Each piece had an explanation on the wall or nearby and it was great to see the artists vision. Some really quirky and interesting stuff in there. Would definitely recommend!

Delighted we went…
Really enjoyed our visit to MOCAK, some superb prices of art. Some thought provoking pieces too. As art should be. Easy to wander around at your own pace and marvel at the work. You can take photos too.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Better than expected

Jan 2020 • Friends

Contemporary Art is not something I usually enjoy and understand however the Mocak was a great visit and better than I expected.

There was an exhibition about Krakow during WW2 and the Holocaust where there were explanations of the art if you were unsure.

Downstairs seemed the weird and wonderful, which was enjoyable to browse.

Worth a visit to see the contemporary art scene in Kraków

Oct 2021 • Couples

Very cool presentation of contemporary art in Kraków. I think there are probably much better presentations of contemporary art but it is nice to check out this scene. I am sure it will evolve into a more complex and integrated display of media and subject matter.

Brilliant artworks and fab building

Feb 2023

We visited the art gallery straight after visiting the Schindler Factory museum as they are very close and you can buy a combined ticket. The building is fantastic and we loved the artworks. Lots of thought-provoking things to consider. The cafe does great coffee too!

Contemporary art lovers will love this place

Sept 2022 • Friends

If you're a fan of contemporary art, I definitely recommend! Really aesthetic building with cool exposition that covers modern-day issues in society but also pleases the eye. People are great, gift shop is great and there's also nice coffe place in the building (you get discount for coffee if you purchase the ticket). Must see for modern art lovers !

Provocative!

Aug 2013 • Friends

We came here on a Monday and it was closed but the friendly staff said come back tomorrow and it is free!!!!!! but we would have been more than happy to pay the fee as it is worth it. Thought provoking art, many talking points and some of the most surreal pieces we have ever seen. Loved it.

Great modern architecture

Jan 2017 • Friends

Stumbled upon this museum which is located directly behind the more well known Oskar Schindler Factory museum. The white, minimalist interior is an oasis of calm. Some interesting exhibits but I enjoyed the impressive architecture of the building itself the most. The stylish cafe bar is a good place to relax after a few hours of walking in the city.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Feb 2016 • Family

Art should evoke an emotional feeling in the viewer & this gallery made us smile & laugh, it confused us, mesmerised us, horrified us & proved to be one of the highlights of our trip to Kraków. We liked the melted toys, the crow, the toilet & the glass floor. It's right beside the Schindler Factory Museum & we bought our tickets at the Factory for 3 zlotys each. We went to the cafe first, which had lovely coffee & divine chocolate & cherry cake. We spent around 2 hours here overall & it was a fantastic gallery - relatively empty, spacious & entertaining!

I thought this was a very interesting museum with a lot of unusual and thought provoking installations. It was also spacious and well organized.
