Croissant Museum

The basics

Many travelers come to the Croissant Museum as part of a private walking tour that uncovers the key landmarks and architectural highlights of Poznan’s Old Town—such as the Old Market Square and the Fountain of Apollo—culminating in a museum visit. After entering the Croissant Museum, visitors can learn about local history, traditions, and customs, then find out how to make a croissant, before tasting it at the end.

Things to know before you go

• Unfortunately the museum is reached via a staircase, so it’s not accessible for wheelchair users.

• The museum sells souvenirs including wrapped croissants, magnets, jewelry, and postcards.

• It’s best to arrive 10–20 minutes before your designated show time.

• The museum provides a special treat for children—an apprentice certificate for joining in the croissant experience.

How to get there

The Croissant Museum is conveniently situated near the Old Square at Stary Rynek 41. However, access is through the courtyard on Klasztorna Street 23, just a block away from the main square. Look for the sign indicating Rogalowe Muzeum and proceed to the courtyard entrance. Arriving on foot is the easiest and quickest solution if staying near the center.

When to get there

The museum is open year-round, but English-language shows are at specific times—typically daily at 2pm—so it’s advisable to check the schedule in advance and to prebook tickets for the admission slot that you want. Please note that the museum may be closed for public holidays.
