About

The Ratusz – Museum Poznań, housed in the historic city hall of Poznań, is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture that dates back to the 15th‑17th centuries. From the richly decorated Renaissance Hall to the medieval clock tower featuring the beloved goat figures—locally called *mamuce*—visitors are transported into the heart of the city’s 1,000‑year history. With free admission and year‑round opening (except during a brief holiday closure from November 29 to December 19), the museum stands in the very centre of the Old Town, making it effortlessly reachable by foot, tram or bus. The collection spans exhibits of art, archaeology, and the everyday life of Poznań’s residents, offering engaging, educational programs for all ages.
