Ważne miejsce na mapie Krakowa. Plany założenia Muzeum Etnograficznego narodziły się w 1902 r. i związane były z wystawą o sztuce ludowej ze zbiorów Seweryna Udzieli, którą zorganizowało Towarzystwo Polskiej Sztuki Stosowanej. Muzeum Narodowe w 1904 r. utworzyło dział etnograficzny oraz otwarta została stała ekspozycja etnograficzna w Sukiennicach. Znajdowały się tam zbiory między innymi Seweryna Udzieli, Stanisława Witkiewicza, Tadeusza Estreichera. W 1910 r. powstało Towarzystwo Muzeum Etnograficznego, które przejęło zbiory od Muzeum Narodowego. W 1911 r. powstała oddzielna placówka przy ulicy Studenckiej, której dyrektorem został Seweryn Udziela. W rok później zbiory eksportowano na Wawel. Po II wojnie światowej siedziba Muzeum Etnograficznego zmieniła miejsce na plac Wolnica 1, a po jakimś czasie również na ulicę Krakowską 46. Główny gmach stanowi Ratusz Kazimierski. Zbiory liczą ponad 80 tysięcy zabytków i związane są z polską kulturą (folklor, sztuka, życie codzienne...) jak i z innymi kulturami Europy i Świata. Doskonała lokalizacja.. Warto być,i nie tylko dla pasjonatów, również dla ludzi ciekawych dziejów narodów i ich spolecznosci

The museum contains dozens of exhibits related to the cultural and historical development and customs of the Małopolska Voivodeship. In total, three floors are open for visitors. One floor exhibits rooms depicting the daily life of the inhabitants of the past centuries. The other two floors display objects, clothing sets and household equipment belonging to people from past centuries. Admission to the museum is free on Tuesdays.

Un musée qui permet de visualiser le mode de vie des Polonais d'antan en reconstituant quelques lieux de l'époque: chambre, école, église, moulins... Une belle collection de crèches.
