Museum of Applied Arts


The three storey Museum of Applied Arts is housed in Poznan's former Royal Castle. The idea of the museum is to display functional art from Eastern and Western cultures of all ages, though with a special emphasis on Polish art. While most of the items are European, one can find several objects from as far away as Japan. Furniture, tableware and china, weapons, tapestries, and other objects can be found, from items from the Middle Ages to Gothic and Renaissance period objects, to a few pieces of Modern design from the 20th century.

"Very cool museum - wish they had more modern stuff though. It seemed part of the exhibition was closed, maybe just temporarily. It's worth the climb up the hill as well because you get a good view of the city. "
