Muzeum imienia Władysława Orkana w Rabce, Museum in Rabka-Zdrój, Poland.
The museum houses approximately 5,000 exhibits in a historic wooden church from the early 17th century, showcasing regional folk culture through traditional crafts, regional costumes, musical instruments, and archival photographs documenting mountain life.
Established on August 9, 1936, the museum was created after collections were moved from the bombed house of writer Władysław Orkan, and it operates in a modular wooden church that has served the parish since 1557.
The institution organizes Highland Culture Festivals and Orkan Culture Festivals, promoting regional heritage through educational programs, workshops, and exhibitions that preserve the traditions and customs of the Beskid Mountains communities.
Located at Władysława Orkana 2 street in Rabka-Zdrój, visitors can contact the museum at telephone number 18 267 62 89 or email biuro@muzeum-orkana.pl for information about opening hours and current exhibitions.
The museum operates within a nail-free wooden church tower construction featuring baroque details, 19th-century polychromy, and historic organs from 1778, making it part of the Wooden Architecture Trail in Lesser Poland.
