Christmas and New Year in Krakow!
In this magic time we will welcome Santa Claus in Krakow. We will see an amazing rivalry of the creators of Krakow Szopka (“szopka” means nativity scene) with an exhibition at the Main Market Square on the first Thursday of December.

Kraków NATIVITY SCENE exposition - The phenomenon of the Kraków nativity scene. KRAKOW CRIB – 1st Thursday of December, every year at Market Square in Krakow from 1937, a tradition. They are issued at the monument of our great poet, Adam Mickiewicz. Nowhere else in the world is not so unusual structures created to commemorate the birth of the Christ. Such a habit of creating atypical structures created in Cracow in the XIX century, and propagated it for good in the XX century. It is a special day for Kraków and attracted many interested at the Krakow’s market in order not only to see these 'small works of art', but also to buy them. For a trifle not small money. What is a labor-intensive job and respectable :). The Nativity Scenes competition was organized by Historical Museum of Krakow, and artists are amateurs, adults and children. Following the competition, the exhibition moves to the museum’s halls Market Square 35, where until mid-February can be admired. Willing is not missing, so and we invite you.
