Muzeum Katedralne im. Jana Pawła II na Wawelu, Cathedral Museum on Wawel Hill in Kraków, Poland
The John Paul II Cathedral Museum occupies two 14th-century buildings between the Vasa Gate and former Castle Seminary, displaying religious artifacts and papal memorabilia.
Cardinal Karol Wojtyla transformed the diocesan museum into the Cathedral Museum, officially opening it on September 28, 1978, before his election as Pope John Paul II.
The Royal Room exhibits national treasures including St Maurice's spear and King Stanisław August Poniatowski's coronation mantle among precious religious artifacts.
The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday, operating from 9:00 to 16:00 during winter months and extending hours until 17:00 from April to October.
The Papal Room preserves the armchair used by both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI during their visits to Wawel Cathedral.
