The museum itself is kinda small and you'd have to purchase additional ticket to attend temporary exhibition. If you lack time you better visit the Silesian Museum instead. It's not too bad, it's just not enough for the city's history museum 😪

Very interesting, especially the floor outlining the history of the city. Best of all I didn't pay anything, completely free!

Beautiful museum!! What a lovely place inspired by the history of Katowice. I would highly recomended to anyone ! So much to learn by visitng this museum. We loved it !!

Nice museum and exceed my expectations. Spent about one hour here. The only downside was trying to buy tickets, as this is a very slow process here.

Modern and extremely well-curated museum. The main exhibition is expertly translated into English. Moreover, while minute, the temporary exhibitions are given substantial care and effort, making them a brilliant part of the visit.

The exhibition consists of two floors. On the first floor, the visitor is given the opportunity to see two apartments of the city of Katowice dated in early 20th century. The one belongs to a middle class family, while the other on a wealthy one. Almost all of the items are real! A brochure is provided which describes what the visitor is seeing. This flood should take around 30 mins. On the other floor, one can find the history of Katowice. This is shown through photos, stories, videos but also interactively quizzes, which help you understand the way the city developed and is structured. Truly on of the best museums I have ever been. It is carefully designed and stands out even comparing with museums in Krakow. The visit on this floor should last 1 hour and 30 mins if you want to explore it in full depth. Overall a unique and unexpected experience! The staff is friendly and the prices at the shop are really low. Recommended!

The permanent exhibit is a nice little look to you the past, essentially shown two apartments. It makes a quick visit, around 10 minutes or so. it is great something like this does exist and the entry fee is good value Staff seemed nice and friendly. Didn’t notice if there was a temporal exhibit on at the time

Museums are very much a personal taste but this one in Katowice was exceptionally detailed for a smaller town and had information in multiple languages as well. The staff have a limited English proficiency but they try so hard and do their best to explain things to guests. Poland is about more than Warsaw and Krakow, so places like this should definitely be visited.

Very interesting place.Large personal.

It Is a really interesting tourist attraction in the centre of the town. In visited once the Museum permanent exhibition and I was positivelu impressed by the Classic furnitures displaced at First floor. It Is reccommended for family and a must to visit in the Town.

Excellent museum. We spent 2 hrs but could have been longer. Some very interesting information and videos. The family rooms were superbly laid out. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend a visit.

Not a very big exhibition, but interesting!

Very interesting museum.

Shows two historical flats on one floor which to be honest I didn't find very interesting. However the top floor has the history of Katowice which I thought was very good. Not the largest museum but good size to explain the main things. Recommend if you're in the area and have 1-2 hours spare

It was nice to see it. Interesting atmosphere. And you give printed guide.

A very intersting museum, I did have a look at the chapter: history of the city of katowice. Was worth a look! The staff was very friendly and I could get a few very nice postcards of katowice :).

I came to see this museum specially from UK/Warsaw after reading and viewing the articles on the internet about the place. The museum gives an excellent insight of the history and living conditions of this era, and immerses you with its beautifully kept living rooms as what it was then. The museum employees we're extremely helpful and kind. I would highly recommend this museum, and think that it is really under estimated.

Cannot rate this place highly enough, a true hidden gem excellent history of Katowice easy to understand and very informative displays. Please allow 3-4 hrs if you wish to view all exhibitions you will not be disappointed, time well spent.

Very interesting museum! A lot of interactive screens and nice videos next to informative text about the history of Katowice! The apartments of an upper class family and a middle class family were very interesting to see as well!

Great museum with a lot of things to see and also interactive effects. It is divided in 3 floors, the first ones are the traditional house and the third is the proper museum. You can spend here more than 2 hours without getting bored! They have a huge amount of interesting elements, militaria, maps.. Very good, I will come back soon!

This place woth a visit if you would like to see how life was some hundred years back. Museum of the History of Katowice(Muzeum Historii Katowic) is located on Szafranka Street which is very close to the centre of Katowice. There is an amazing ceramic fireplace is on the second floor. I wish I had one in my house. The museum partially tells about the mining history of the area, in Polish with English subtitles. They should think of a third language: German, due to considerable number of German visitors.

Lovely museum which tells the story of the city and the region, expect to spend about 2 hours+ here

Small but very informative. Cheap and cozy. Excellent English support.

There are some really interesting lectures here, but main exhibition isn't that great. It's rather small and a little boring when guide wants to show and talk about everything

Beautiful museum that from the outside looks like it is gonna be a sh*t show. but it's actually amazing with a lot to learn and amazingly inovative way of teaching you about Katowices rich history! ENCE!! ENCE!! ENCE!!
