Muzeum Geologiczne WGGiOŚ AGH, Kraków

The Geological Museum of AGH belongs to the university’s Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection and dates from nineteen twenty. Its permanent displays explore karst phenomena, Kraków’s geological setting and resources, Polish minerals, fossil life, deposits and the changing Earth.

This is the Geological Museum of AGH, a geology museum within the AGH University of Science and Technology’s Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection. Founded in nineteen twenty, it turns the ground beneath Kraków and the wider country into the subject of a museum visit. Inside, the permanent displays range widely: karst phenomena; the geology and natural resources of the Kraków region; Poland’s mineral raw materials; and the geology of deposits.

The story also reaches deep into time through palaeontology, then returns to forces that continually reshape the Earth in dynamic geology. Other galleries set Kraków’s surroundings within the regional geology of Poland. That makes this a particularly fitting museum for this city. Rather than treating rocks as isolated specimens, its displays connect minerals, fossil life, landscapes and resources—inviting you to think of Kraków not only as a historic city, but as a place with a long geological setting beneath it.
