Krakow boasts a number of museums that present Jewish heritage and engage in its research. Each museum deals with a different aspect of that heritage. In a discussion with representatives of these museums, we will talk about how they perceive their place and mission in the discovery and dissemination of the Jewish history of Krakow and the region. We will also discuss the challenges they face in this work and the future paths of development they see for their institutions.
