Galicia Jewish Museum, Jewish heritage museum in Kazimierz district, Krakow, Poland

The Galicia Jewish Museum is a photography museum in Krakow's Kazimierz district that documents Jewish communities across the historical Galician region. The collection shows synagogues, cemeteries, and other sites connected to Jewish life through images.

The museum was founded in 2004 to preserve memories of 800 years of Jewish presence in western Galicia. The photographs document what remained of communities that shaped the region for centuries.
