Calling Galicia a cafe is like calling the Louvre a snack bar... Yes it has a cafe (great as it is), but that is rather besides the point. Galicia is in fact a museum (haha got you viatribe;)) and a rather life changing one at that. The main exhibition is a collection of stunning photographs and moving texts about various Jewish landmarks, buildings, cemeteries in Kazimierz and the greater Krakowian Province of Malapolska (formerly referred to as Galicja)The combination of the museum’s modern and spacious design and the artful elegance of the photography allows one to process the exhibition, and the tragic histories it presents, in a completely relaxed and even aesthetically stimulating environment. Beside the main exhibition Galicia constantly hosts visiting exhibitions, installations, visiting galleries, and concerts. The aforementioned café bar does actually quite a lot of drinks and snacks on hand and the "gift shop" is one of the most comprehensive Jewish book and music shops in all of Poland.
