Krakow, Poland
Long leg1 Oct 2008 to 4 Oct 2008
Old-town beauty, cellar bars, historical weight, and enough seriousness to keep the archive from becoming purely silly.

Tourists huddle in cellars over pierogi as Wawel Castle looms with medieval indifference and the Vistula slides by in silence.

Official highlight

Krakow is an early reminder that ICOM can include beauty, provided the history and weather keep everyone honest.
