The Museum is housed in the building of the former Command (headquarters) of the then Austro-Hungarian Kraków Fortress. Initially, the exhibition was accessible only in a few adapted rooms. Following the cession of the entire building, it was renovated and converted, while retaining its solemn character. The inner courtyard was covered by a glass roof for the purpose of an exhibition space, thus becoming the heart of the building. The glass roof was executed without frames, and mounted by means of stainless steel spherical joints.
