Ojcowski National Park Museum

The Ojcowski National Park Museum is a natural history museum in the Prädnik Valley showcasing geological formations, wildlife, plants, and archaeological discoveries. The displays focus on the valley's distinctive landscape with limestone hills and the diverse living world around them.

Founded in 1965, the museum preserves evidence of human settlement in the valley stretching back about 120,000 years into prehistoric times. The collection documents how people adapted to this landscape across many thousands of years.

The collection includes everyday objects used by people who lived in the valley long ago, along with traditional crafts and household items. You can see how tourism gradually grew here and how it shaped the local way of life over generations.

The museum occupies its own building in the valley with clearly organized displays easy to follow for any visitor. You can obtain trail maps and information about hiking routes throughout the national park at the reception.

The museum holds one of the largest collections of cave specimens from the region, with materials gathered from over 700 limestone caves nearby. This extensive collection reveals hidden details about bat populations and other creatures living inside the caves.
