The New Castle and New Crown Treasury
Transforming Wawel Royal Castle
In the 2021–2022 season, Wawel Royal Castle will undergo a major transformation. With our visitors’ expectations, safety, and viewing comfort in mind, we are hard at work on the reinstallation of the exhibitions in the royal castle.
The historic interiors, works of art, and period furnishings will not change, but the redesigned display, especially in the Royal Private Apartments, will present our collections in a fresh, new light. The reinstallation will offer the public a completely new, unforgettable, way to experience art and history at Wawel. In July 2022, an imposing permanent exhibition will open its doors – the New Crown Treasury.
In the meantime we encourage you to browse our new permanent exhibition schedule and see what’s changed. We would also like to invite you to visit the temporary exhibitions we have planned for this year and the next. Among them are such shows as Not only Bruegel and Rubens: The Painting of the Low Countries at Wawel, which opens November 30, 2021, and Andrzej Radwański: A Painter from Krakow, opening February 11, 2022 in an all-new Wawel exhibition space.
Come and visit Wawel – the Castle was, is, and always will be open.
For everyone.
