The National Museum in Krakow is the oldest and largest museum with the adjective "national" in its name in Poland. It was established in 1879 by a resolution of the Krakow City Council. Until the end of World War I, it was the only large museum open to the public in Poland, and to this day it remains the institution with the largest number of collections, buildings and permanent galleries. The collections managed by the Museum number over 900,000 exhibits, and its mission is to disseminate Polish and foreign art.
