Zoological Museum, Ingardena St. 6., Cracow

Welcome in the oldest Zological Museum in Poland

The Museum originated in 1782 as the “Natural History Cabinet”. The townhouse at 6 St. Anne’s Street in Cracow was its home for 184 years, until its relocation in 1967 to the Institute of Zoology at 6 Ingardena Street (formerly 50 Krupnicza Street), where it remains to the present day. The museum hall houses an exhibition of about 7000 animal specimens covering nearly all taxonomic groups - from polyps to mammals. As such, the exhibition is a perfect educational complement for schools and students. An additional exhibition at Grodzka Street includes displays of fossils and tropical butterflies - it is a popular destination for family excursions, as well as for collectors and lovers of these animals.
