Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory was made famous by Steven Spielberg’s WWII epic, Schindler’s List, back in 1993. The site of that amazing story can still be found in the depths of Podgorze district on the south side of the Vistula River. Amid industrial depots, it rises with jagged roofs on Lipowa Street. The complex now hosts two of Krakow’s most enthralling museums: MOCAK (the Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków) and the Historical Museum of the City of Krakow. The latter is great for insights into a tumultuous 20th-century past, with hands-on exhibits that chronicle wartime Krakow and the region.
