Lonely Planet review

From the Corpus Christi Church, walk east along ul Św Wawrzyńca for 500m to what should be your first port of call in the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz - the Galicia Museum, which both commemorates Jewish victims of the Holocaust and celebrates Jewish culture in Galicia past, present and future.

Brainchild of the late Chris Schwarz, it features an impressive photographic exhibition, depicting modern-day remnants of southeastern Poland's once-thriving Jewish community called 'Traces of Memory', video testimony of survivors and some seminal temporary exhibits, such as the recent 'Polish Heroes: Those Who Rescued Jews'.
