Where is Muzeum Historii Radomia?
Muzeum Historii Radomia is at Rynek 4/5, inside the Houses of Gąska and Esterka. The museum is part of the Jacek Malczewski Museum, and it takes about 9 minutes to drive there from Hotel E7.
The address puts the exhibition in the historic houses themselves, making the museum visit a natural starting point for seeing historic buildings in the city. You can pair it with stops such as Dom Esterki or Nowy Ratusz; the companion guide explains what to know about Dom Esterki.
