Museum of the Warsaw Archdiocese, Religious art museum next to St. John's Cathedral in Old Town, Poland.
The Museum of the Warsaw Archdiocese displays a collection of 20,000 items including paintings, sculptures, liturgical vestments, and medieval art in a 16th-century palace.
Founded in 1938, the museum's original collection was destroyed during World War II, leading to its reconstruction and eventual reopening in 1980 at a different location.
The museum holds original 15th-century engravings by Albrecht Durer and Jacek Malczewski's painting of Christ and the Samaritan among its religious artworks.
Located at Dziekania 1 street, the museum offers modern facilities across 1200 square meters of exhibition space and maintains accessibility for visitors with disabilities.
The building features the 'Piekarski corridor', constructed in 1620 after an assassination attempt on King Sigismund III Vasa to ensure royal protection.
