I can't recommend doing the museum with a guide. The museum works really hard at being engaging and giving you an experience, but that means that there are speakers all over, and weird music or sounds are being cultivated as every display. And there are a lot of projections so you can watch repros of ancient life being lived. The city was founded 1257 which is almost a full 100 years before Jagiellonian was a thing. And the whole idea is that the city was founded about 20ish feet lower than the city is now. It was slowly built up over three hundred years by peeople dumping their shit and then laying sand on top. It was excavated between 1995 and 2010.
Anyway, go by yourself. All the noise means you can't hear any guide, anyway. Also be aware that for some reason it smells like chlorine. And the ceilings are low, so watch that if you have claustrophobia. Also the whole souvenir shop is the size of one market stall. Just ao you know. But the history is important and interesting, so I would do it again, maybe, just not with a group or guide.
This is a model of the city that has a skylight from the square. It's a little like the louvre; the outside bit is a glass pyramid.
UGH SO PRETTY I CAN'T
HA. Suck it.
skull on top, 1000 year old and they opened his cranium. skull on bottom and one vertabrae, 200 years old. And therefore less interesting.

OH ALSO. I walked by a coffee shop today and three guys help up numbers.
Two nine's and a 10.
I mean, that's tantamount to catcalling which, on principle, i disapprove of. And it feels condescending. But i fully admit it made me grin for about an hour, afterwards.
