Holy Father John Paul II Family Home in Wadowice, Papal museum and birthplace in Wadowice, Poland.

The museum contains two rooms and a kitchen where Karol Wojtyła spent his early years, displaying original furniture and personal belongings of his family.

The Wojtyła family resided in this apartment from 1919 until 1938, when Karol moved to Kraków with his father to begin studies at Jagiellonian University.

The permanent exhibition titled 'HOME' presents the forty-year history of this residence and its connection to the Polish Catholic heritage through artifacts.

The museum extends different operating schedules throughout the year, with longer hours from May to September and shorter hours during winter months.

The exhibition includes documentation of the 1981 assassination attempt and subsequent forgiveness granted by Pope John Paul II to his attacker.
