The Museum of Jagiellonian University sits in a historic building which itself an exhibit. The building is as old as of 14th century. It was the first seat of the Jagiellonian University when it had started its operation as an academy. Later, when the main campus shifted nearby it became university library and eventually university museum - collegium mius. There is an interesting musical clock which is visible from the courtyard and that plays an academic theme song five times a day after every two hours. The museum is fabulous. It has very rich collection. I have seen some prized medal of Nobel, Oscar and Grammy, belonged to the distinguished university alumni. In addition, it has scripts of Copernicus, autograph of Neil Armstrong.

If you are in Krakow, try and have a guided tour of the historical rooms and halls of the Jagellonic university. The guided are extremely well prepared and cover a good number of languages. The climax of the tour is obviously the Copernicus room with the astronomical instruments. Once back in the courtyard, seize the chance to take a look at the carillon.

Didn't take the guided tour, we just looked at the courtyard and watched the animated chiming clock perform. A quieter part of Krakow with fewer tourists but still fairly busy. Worth a look and also a quiet stroll around the university buildings.

This historic university building is well worth an afternoon. While the tour was short, and ultimately only goes through a handful of rooms, it was very informative, and helps you to grasp the significance of this place. The ornate art and architecture, inside and out, as well as the collection of artifacts and precious objects is astounding for a university. Nicholas Copernicus' time at the university is explained, as is the interesting way of life of the early university professors. The tours are limited in size, and are only available certain times of the day in English. They also only take cash as payment. While the tourbooks all recommend coming on the uneven hours to see the mechanical clock, this particular element seems overrated (though entertaining), especially considering that it is not original and has been rebuilt several times.

Part of the guided tours in Krakow as it's a large part of Poland's history. If I remember correctly, most of Poland's/Krakow's universities were once institutions of this university. Interesting fact we found out passing a nearby house. If a black flag is adorned from a nearby house it means one of the professor's/senior staff had recently died. You can do a tour on your own as the guided tour will take you to other destinations. Also a prime spot for a photo.
