This was a really nice surprise; we went for the staircase, but the exhibits were very well done. Often there was an old picture and then a display with the objects within the picture.

Sehr ausführliche Ausstellung, die einen umfassenden Blick auf Galizien und seine Menschen ermöglicht. Sehr interessant,!

The staircase itself is worth the admission, which is lucky as the rest of the museum is quite ordinary
