House of Zwierzyniecki is a typical suburban tenement house from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is located in the heart of the former Zwierzyniec - at the foot of St. Bronisława, near the Norbertine Convent, the Church of the Holy Savior and the Kościuszko Mound. The house was built around 1910 by a famous bricklayer from Zwierzyniec, Jan Florczyk, who lived here with his family, and allocated part of the house to apartments for rent. In 1990, the building was taken over by the Historical Museum of the City of Krakow. Temporary exhibitions about Krakow's suburbs, old traditions and specific urban folklore are presented here. A small permanent exhibition entitled The "suburban apartment a hundred years ago" presents the reconstructed appearance of a typical apartment near Krakow and its equipment from the beginning of the 20th century. The name of the House of Zwierzyniecki was used since 2010, but the formal change took place only in January 2014. This year, the rooms previously occupied by conservators in the House of Zwierzyniecki were intended to enlarge the space of temporary exhibitions and to create educational rooms in the attic of the building. Since 2016, in some of the rooms vacated by conservators, a permanent mini-exhibition entitled "The suburban apartment a hundred years ago" has been presented.
Please note that ITS-Poland works with groups only (10 participants and more).
