Józef Mehoffer House
The Józef Mehoffer House ( Polish : Dom Józefa Mehoffera ) at Ulica Krupnicza 26 in Kraków is a branch of the Kraków National Museum . It is dedicated to the painter Józef Mehoffer (1869–1946), who acquired it in 1932.
Stanisław Wyspiański was born in the house in 1869 . The Mehoffer family also lived in the house in the post-war period. Mehoffer's son Zbigniew suggested converting the house into a Mehoffer museum. Construction began in 1979 and ended in 1986. Zbigniew Mehoffer died in 1985, his son Ryszard continued the project. The Mehoffer family gave the building to the Kraków National Museum. In 1987 the house was furnished with furniture and art objects. The museum received sculptures, church windows, 120 oil paintings and drawings, draft wall paintings and a collection of Japanese woodcuts on permanent loan .
The museum comprises 16 rooms with an exhibition area of 400 m².
