National Museum in Lublin

The National Museum in Lublin is a history museum displaying regional art, historical objects, and archaeological findings across several connected buildings. The exhibitions feature paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from different periods.

The museum was founded in 1906 inside a former Dominican monastery. The institution lost most of its original collection during World War II and had to rebuild its holdings afterward.

The collections show how people in this region expressed themselves through art and craft across centuries. You can see how local artists and makers reflected the life and identity of Lublin.

The museum spreads across multiple buildings, so a map helps you find your way around the complex. Most areas are easily accessible, and visitors should allow several hours to see the main exhibitions.

Within the complex stands the Trinity Chapel, which features Byzantine-Russian frescoes from the 15th century. These wall paintings represent an artistic treasure that visitors often overlook.
