Muzeum Ikon w Supraślu

The museum houses over 1,200 religious artifacts, including icons, frescoes, and sacred objects displayed across multiple exhibition rooms within a former monastery complex.

Established in 2006, the museum occupies a section of a 500-year-old Orthodox monastery, which has played a central role in the religious life of eastern Poland.

The permanent exhibition 'Icon: Image and Word' presents 300 Orthodox icons and religious items, illustrating the evolution of sacred art in Eastern Christianity.

Visitors can participate in icon painting demonstrations, guided tours, and educational workshops, with multimedia presentations available in multiple languages.

Many items in the collection were intercepted by customs officers during smuggling attempts across Poland's eastern border and later transferred to the museum through legal proceedings.
