Archdiocesan Museum (Muzeum Archidiecezjalne w Krakowie) Tours and Activities
The Archdiocesan Museum of Cardinal Karol Wojtyla ((Muzeum Archidiecezjalne w Krakowie) was originally founded in 1905, although not opened to the public until 1994. It was created to commemorate and advise the public of the artistic legacy of the Krakow bishopric. The buildings at 19 and 21 Kanonicza street that house the museum date to the late 14th century and today contains more than 600 works of art displayed in 16 rooms. The late Pope John Paul II, formerly known as Karol Wojtyla, resided there once as a young priest and again when he was the Archbishop of Krakow. The museum was named after him in 2005 and visitors are able to see the room where he lived from 1958 to 1967, as well as many of his personal effects, including his skis.
The museum displays showcase a variety of sacral art from the 13th to 18th centuries, including religious artifacts, sculptures and paintings.
