Lonely Planet review

Dedicated to one of Kraków's most beloved sons and the key figure of the Młoda Polska (Young Poland) movement, the Wyspiański Museum, on the 1st and 2nd floors of Szołayski House, reveals how many branches of art Stanisław Wyspiański explored. A painter, poet and playwright, he was also a designer particularly renowned for his stained-glass designs, some of which are in the exhibition.

Among his projects never realised was Acropolis, a political, religious and cultural centre to be built on Wawel Hill. There's a model made according to his design - an amazing mix of epochs and styles, a Greek amphitheatre and a Roman circus included.
