PRL Museum

The PRL Museum (Polish: Muzeum PRL-u) is a museum in Kraków, Poland devoted to documenting the forty-year history of the pro-communist People's Republic of Poland (PRL). It occupies the building of the old Kino Światowid ("Svetovid Cinema"), a formerly state-owned cinema in the Nowa Huta district of Kraków.

The museum was established in 2008 as a division of the Warsaw Museum of Polish History. However, on November 7, 2012, the city council of Kraków decided to establish an independent museum in its place run by the city itself. Waiting for the renovation, museum runs exhibitions in Kino Światowid ("Svetovid Cinema") and, since recently, offers guided tours through nuclear bunkers of Nowa Huta.[1]
