• Timed entry slots, with up to 15 visitors let in every 15 minutes and last entry to the exhibitions at 4:30pm, so buying a slot online is the safer bet
• About 1.5 hours for the full visit, which is a lot of reading and listening for under-8s, so pick a few rooms with younger kids
• Museum app in English with an audio guide, videos and routes through the permanent exhibitions; bring headphones for each kid

The Ossolineum's museum sits in the Under the Golden Sun tenement on the market square and holds the original manuscript of Adam Mickiewicz's epic poem Pan Tadeusz. Rooms recreate a Romantic salon, a library and a noble family's house.

Mission: Poland tells the 20th century through the lives of Jan Nowak-Jeziorański and Władysław Bartoszewski. Screens, projections and a museum app with an English audio guide help older kids follow along.
