It stands at the corner of ulica Jagiellońska (Jagiellon Street) and ulica Świętej Anny (St. Anne Street) near the Main Square of the historic city centre. Collegium Maius is the location of the Jagiellonian University Museum.

The Collegium Maius Museum features lecture rooms, communal halls, professor’s quarters, a library and a treasury containing rector’s Gothic maces and the Jagiellonian globe (It is the oldest extant globe to use the name America). Exhibits also include medieval scientific instruments, globes, paintings, collectibles, furniture, coins and medals.
