Museum of Zamość

The Museum of Zamość occupies several historical buildings in the center of the Old Town and displays collections covering archaeology, ethnography, and regional history. The exhibition spaces spread across multiple floors and buildings that are themselves important examples of Renaissance architecture.

The museum was founded in 1926 and documents the development of Zamość since its founding in 1580 by Jan Zamoyski. The collection preserves artifacts and documents showing how the planned Renaissance city grew and changed over centuries.

The rooms display how different communities lived and worked together in this city over time. Visitors see traditional crafts, clothing, and everyday objects that shaped daily life across centuries.

The rooms can be explored easily on foot, and visitors can move through the exhibitions at their own pace. It is helpful to plan several hours and check what exhibitions are currently on display when you arrive.

The museum building was created in Armenian merchant houses from 1585 and tells the story of the diverse population who founded and populated this planned city. These structures remind us of a time when traders and craftspeople from different cultures came together here.
