MIT Krakow - Museum of Engineering and Technology

MIT Krakow (Muzeum Inzynierii i Techniki, the Museum of Engineering and Technology) is a City of Krakow cultural institution that collects and shows the history and development of technology. It was formerly called the Museum of Municipal Engineering.

The depot

Its main site is the tram depot at ul. sw. Wawrzynca 15 in Kazimierz. The museum describes the complex as unique in Europe: the only depot that survives practically complete and shows the whole line of the city's public transport, from horse trams through narrow- and standard-gauge electric trams to buses. It was built in stages at the end of the 19th and the start of the 20th century. The museum also runs two other sites, the Stanislaw Lem Garden of Experiences and the Hangar in Czyzyny.

What you see

The permanent exhibition at the depot, Miasto. Technoczulosc ("City. Techno-tenderness"), is a journey through the technical portrait of the city, from the first ideas of how a city works through both industrial revolutions and post-war modernisation to the present and beyond. The museum also runs guided walks along the Route of Technology monuments nearby and classes for children and adults.
