Poland's National Museum in Kraków was established in 1879 and has grown into one of the country's largest collections, holding roughly 780,000 objects that range from classical archaeology to contemporary Polish art.
Its most famous painting sits within the museum's Czartoryski division: Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci, painted around 1490 as a portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, a mistress of the Duke of Milan. It is one of only a handful of portraits securely attributed to the artist and remains the collection's central attraction.
The museum's broader Polish painting holdings, including major works from the 19th-century national revival period, make it a central stop for understanding the country's art history, alongside the old master and archaeological collections spread across its other divisions.
