Miniature dolls and their houses - in the Museum of History of Katowice
Katowice Historical Museum [Muzeum Historii Katowic]
This outstanding museum showcasing some of the more interesting aspects of the life and times of the city and its people is divided into three main sections. Wearing a pair of silly slippers provided in the price of the ticket, wander the well thought-out rooms on three floors including a superb recreation of house interiors of the middle and upper classes of the city from 20, 50 and 100 years ago, a fine history of the city in all its good and bad forms from its origins until the present day and a small gallery of religious art. Sadly the exhibits remain in Polish only, but thanks either to the cleverness of the curators or maybe just by sheer fluke, most of the things on display make a lot of sense. One of the best museums in southern Poland, and well worth visiting when you're in the city.
Admission 8/4z³, Sat free. Guided tours 12z³ per person.
