Located directly next to the Castle, in a modernised building that once housed the Castle restaurant, this new multifunctional EU-funded building was opened in 2011 and hosts all sorts of community programmes and facilities including a modern performance hall, recording studios and classrooms. Those that will be of most interest to tourists are actually located in the basement, so skip the front entrance and walk around the back to find the building's cafe/bar, cinema, and the groovy Phonograph Museum (open 10:00 - 18:00, admission 10/8zł, muzeumfonografii.pl​). Perfectly timed with PL's vinyl revival, the museum features seven exhibition rooms with over 150 items that lead you through the history of sound equipment - beautiful 19th century gramophones, inter-war radios, cult 50s and 60s players, 8-tracks and cassettes, up to the loathsome 'discman.' Along the way you'll not only see sound and media equipment, but each room is also equipped to represent its era with antique and vintage furnishings and decor. It all ends in the 'listening room' where you are welcome to browse through and listen to their collection of over 2000 LPs on one of seven different players. Amazingly, the collection is decent, the players work and there aren't any museum chaperones looming over you trying to 'help.' We could spend most of the day there, and if you also happen to, there's always the basement bar (open 10:00 - 22:00) where you can catch a beer and maybe even a concert on the weekend. If you've made the trip to Niepołomice, this and the Castle are the two main things to check out.
