The exhibition in the factory at Lipowa Street gives visitors the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the history of Krakow during Nazi German Occupation.

The exhibition is divided into about a dozen sections dedicated to specific themes and issues: the war of 1939, the role of Krakow as the Headquarters of the Nazi General Governor, everyday life, the fate of Krakow Jews, the Underground Resistance and the history of the factory itself, its employees and its owner Oskar Schindler.

The museum items consist of a variety of photographic and archival documentation provided by a number of collections, both from Poland and abroad. Film documentaries and radio recordings in which the people of Kraków talk about their war experiences from the period 1939?1945 is also an important feature of the exhibition.
