The biggest draw last year was a temporary exhibition of works by Józef Chełmoński, one of Poland's leading 19th-century painters.
The four-month show was visited by nearly 125,000 people.
Other popular exhibitions included displays of Japanese art, as well as retrospectives of painter Olga Boznańska (1865–1940) and Janusz Tarabuła, a Kraków-based artist who died on New Year’s Day at the age of 95.
Poland's largest museum institution, the National Museum in Kraków has 12 divisions. These include the Cloth Hall gallery in the city’s Main Market Square, which houses a collection of 19th-century Polish art, and the Czartoryski Museum, home to Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine.
The museum’s main building features an extensive collection of modern and contemporary Polish art.
