Once intended as the ideal workers’ city, today a district of Kraków, it attracts tourists with the architecture of socialist realism, disclosing different sides of the city’s history.
This small branch of the Museum of the History of the City of Kraków in Nowa Huta opened in 2005 to elucidate the history of this district of Kraków, built after the Second World War on the fertile lands of the suburban villages. Originally, Nowa Huta was to be an ideal communist city, independent of Kraków, designed for the workers of the gigantic steelworks named after Vladimir Ilyich Lenin that were being developed in the vicinity at the time. The museum presents regularly modified exhibitions devoted to the history of the area, both in our days and before the construction of the city and the steel mills.
