"There was a long line in front of the museum for the whole week, and each day brought new attendance records," Łukasz Gaweł said.
Sunday saw a record 2,165 visitors arriving at the museum, public broadcaster Polish Radio reported.
The venue’s new gallery of ancient art and a temporary exhibition of masterpieces of Polish 19th-century painting have proved particularly popular over the last week, according to Polish Radio.
Museums and art galleries across the country were allowed to reopen from February 1 amid signs of a let-up in the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic.
Meanwhile, restrictions on hotels, entertainment venues and outdoor sports areas including ski slopes are set to be partially lifted on February 12.
