Museum sights in Kielce

1. A Map

   National Museum

   • Kielce, Poland
   • Sights › Museum

   National Museum, where 17th- and 18th-century interiors are so alive you feel like you’re trespassing in a bishop’s boudoir. Keep an eye on the ornamental ceilings (plafonds) painted from 1641 by Venetian Tommaso Dolabella. The centrepiece is the former dining hall where the whole brood of bishops stare down from their 56 portraits. The upper and lower portraits of this evocative historical montage were painted two centuries apart. The rest of this captivatingly cavernous multilevel museum leads through collections of porcelain, historical armour and various centuries and genres of Polish painting.

   The delightfully presented Toy Museum offers the chance to reminisce about toys you forgot you wanted. The room full of frogs somehow makes sense when you’re there.
