Warsaw Icon Museum, Orthodox art museum in Ochota district, Warsaw, Poland.
The Warsaw Icon Museum is an art museum housed in a former boilerhouse and presents an extensive collection of Eastern Orthodox religious artwork. The exhibition displays traditional Byzantine paintings and demonstrates the artistic techniques that were applied over many centuries.
The museum was founded in 2011 and was the first institution in Warsaw dedicated entirely to the Orthodox icon tradition. Its creation reflected growing interest in preserving Eastern artistic heritage in the city.
The icons on display here were created by Orthodox artists across generations and show how this form of art connected believers. The works help visitors understand how icon painting played a role in daily prayer and community life.
The museum is located in the Ochota district and is accessible on weekdays with limited opening hours. The space is relatively small, so it is advisable to allow some time for a calm visit.
The museum's collection is one of the largest icon collections in Poland, spread across multiple floors of a compact building. Many of the works come from different Eastern European regions and show different regional styles within the Orthodox tradition.
Opening Hours: Monday off; Tuesday-Saturday: 12:00-17:00; Sunday 13:00-15:00
