Śląsk Wroclaw Museum

What to expect

The Śląsk Wroclaw Museum is the museum of a single club, the football club WKS Śląsk Wrocław, set up in sector C of the Tarczyński Arena stadium, next to the Sports Bar. You come here for the club: the exhibition takes you chronologically through several decades of the football section’s history, its people and its most important events.

The exhibits are the backdrop here, and the leading role goes to multimedia: interviews with former players and coaches, match recordings and presentations of the stadiums. According to Gazeta Wrocławska’s report from the opening day, some of the exhibits may be touched, and in the part on Śląsk’s stadiums you can sit on original seats from Oporowska 62.

The museum has a photo booth that any visitor can use. Past the exhibition, under the stands on the promenade side, there is an activity zone for children and young people, and on the promenades the club presents its 13 Olympic medallists.

Visitors rate the museum highly: on Google Maps it has 4.8 out of 5 from 57 reviews (read on 4 November 2026).

Who it suits: Śląsk fans and anyone who wants to learn about the post-war history of football in Wroclaw, because the club takes 1947 as its founding year and the exhibition goes through its history in order. It works well with children: the photo booth, the exhibits you can touch and the activity zone under the stands, and the family ticket covers two adults and two or three children under 18.

Who should skip it: anyone who does not care about football, because the museum is devoted overwhelmingly to the history of the team. If you are looking for the history of the whole city, from the early Middle Ages to the present day, you will do better at the Historical Museum , where the exhibition “1000 lat Wrocławia” (1,000 Years of Wrocław) has more than 3000 objects.

How long: the museum says that the exhibition alone takes 30-40 minutes and the stadium tour about an hour. So allow three quarters of an hour for the museum alone, and close to two hours with a combined ticket for the stadium and a while in the children’s zone.

Tips

• A ticket for a set time. A ticket lets you in only once and only at the time chosen when you buy it and printed on it, and it is valid for 15 minutes: from 5 minutes before that time to 10 minutes after. Plan your journey with time to spare, because arriving late may cost you your entry.
• Buy online, in advance. Online, tickets are available up to 10 days ahead, while the till at the FanShop #NaStadionie on the ul. Królewiecka side sells them only for the same day. The museum takes bookings by e-mail or phone only from groups of more than 15 people.
• Check the match calendar. An ordinary week is simple (open every day, Mon-Sun: 10:00-18:00), but events at the stadium can change the hours of the museum and of the stadium tours. On match days the museum may open for shorter hours or stay closed, and the stadium tour may not run, so before your visit check the museum’s announcements on Facebook and in the ticket shop.
• The museum alone or with the stadium. The price list has two options: the museum alone (standard ticket 25 PLN (about 6 EUR), reduced 15 PLN (about 3 EUR)) or the museum with a stadium tour, which costs more. Both have a family ticket and a group ticket; the practical box gives the amounts for the museum-only ticket, the museum’s price list the rest.
• Discount cards. For the museum alone, the normal ticket is cheaper with the Karta Dużej Rodziny (Large Family Card), the Karta Aglomeracyjna (Agglomeration Card) and the Karta Nasz Wrocław (Our Wroclaw Card). Children under 4 accompanied by a person with a ticket get a free ticket.
• Cash for the deposit. You can pay for tickets in cash, by card or with BLIK, but the museum takes the refundable deposit for the audio guide and for a locker key in cash only.
• Photos allowed. You may take photographs both in the museum and in the stadium. Without a ticket you cannot go inside the stadium, but the viewing terrace on stand D is free and you can see the stands from it.
• Accessibility. The stadium was designed for use by people with disabilities: accessible entrances on levels 0 and 1, lifts and adapted toilets, and before the opening Gazeta Wrocławska wrote that the museum has no architectural barriers. If you also want to tour the stadium, let the museum know in advance by e-mail or phone.

Background

The seats from Oporowska 62, which you can now sit on in the exhibition, are a reminder that the Tarczyński Arena is not the only stadium in Śląsk’s history: the exhibition devotes a separate part to the club’s stadiums. The museum takes 1947 as the year WKS was founded, while noting that the club’s beginnings go back a few years earlier; Polish Wikipedia gives the same year.

The stadium, called the Tarczyński Arena since 2021, belongs to the city of Wroclaw, was one of the Euro 2012 venues, and its main user is Śląsk. The museum was set up in it entirely with money from the city budget and, according to Gazeta Wrocławska, it has been open to all visitors since 5 September 2023.
