The exhibition, presenting the city's over a thousand years of history, was prepared by the ICC in cooperation with the Krakow City Hall. It is part of the project co-financed by the City of Krakow under the same title and visually completes the publication of the Thousand Treasures of Krakow. History and art (2018).

The exhibition “The Treasures of Kraków” recounts the tale of a city – the seat of Polish kings, former capital of the country, home to one of the oldest European universities and magnet for poets, writers and artists. It was one of the most important Central European metropolises of the Medieval era. For centuries a cosmopolitan, multicultural settlement, open to outside influences, it is also the most Polish of Polish cities. In 1978, Kraków became the first European urban ensemble to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List.
