The Jan Matejko House | National Museum
Family tenement turned biographical museum, preserving the historical painter's studio, stuffed model horse and personal relics.
This guide to the Jan Matejko House in Kraków opens with a wedding portrait that Teodora Matejko tore apart in fury, only for her husband to repaint her from memory years later. It follows painter Jan Matejko from a childhood spent struggling in ordinary school to talent that carried him into Krakow's Academy of Fine Arts, and up into the same Florianska Street studio, crowded with armor and a stuffed model horse, where he painted Poland's history for decades while his marriage stayed stormy under the same roof. Climb the stairs into that studio, where the quarrel, and the reconciliation, once played out.
