In general, many Museums and historic buildings are undergoing massive renovations in Krakow right now. The town halls was closed, St Mary’s church filled with scaffolding and the Szolaski house closed. I expect that renovation work will cycle through many museums for a couple of years.

Rovaniemi – not to be missed!
Definitely make the 14 hour train trip from Helsinki to Rovaniemi. This is the largest town in northern Finland and is full of adventure. During the Summer, you’re close enough to the arctic circle to experience the midnight sun and there is even a huge festival in mid June.
If you are looking for recreation activities, Lapin Safarit offers multiple day trips and rents bicycles and scooters. If you are short on cash, try renting a bike and riding to Napapiiri (home of Santa’s village and the arctic circle).
