Museum of the Warsaw Archdiocese, Religious art museum next to St. John's Cathedral in Old Town, Poland.
The Muzeum Archidiecezji Warszawskiej is an art museum housed in a 16th-century palace next to St. John's Cathedral in the Old Town. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, liturgical vestments, and medieval artworks from different periods.
The museum was founded in 1938, but its original collection was lost during World War II. After the war, the collection was rebuilt and the museum reopened in 1980 at a new location.
The museum displays works that reflect the religious life and history of the church in Warsaw. Visitors can see how artworks and liturgical objects tell the story of faith and traditions across an entire region.
The museum is located near the Old Town and is easy to reach by public transportation. The spaces are designed to be accessible so that all visitors can comfortably explore the exhibition.
The palace contains a special corridor built in 1620 to protect the Polish king after an assassination attempt. This historic passage is still visible today and tells of dramatic moments from the past.
