The main feature “In the footsteps of Krakow’s European identity” was launched three days after the museum's opening, on 27 September 2010.

Exhibits[]

The main exhibit, “In the footsteps of Krakow’s European identity”, makes use of holograms constructed by using projectors alongside fog machines and several dozen screens and projectors to recreate the atmosphere of Kraków seven hundred years ago. The exhibition allows visitors to see six hundred models in three dimensions via thirty seven touch screens placed throughout.
