“Lady With An Ermine” (or, more informally in polish Dama z łasicą which means “the lady with the weasel”) is gone!
A pivotal development in the art of portraiture, this enigmatic Da Vinci masterpiece is usually one of Kraków’s top 5 tourist must-see tourist cliches. Now, however, due to the brutal ongoing renovation of the Czartoryski museum, the weasel has temporarily lost her home and has gone on tour as a result.

If you are starved for stoats, though, or pine martins, or badgers or ferrets or other rooting mammals that a daschund would want to chase, you can see a nice plaintive tribute to our famous missing weasel on the doors of Pracownia, a smart new cafe / bar in Kazimierz. And here, when the doors aren’t barred by an airbrushed ermine, you can have a nice breakfast and coffee or later grab a dark local honey beer.
