Muzeum Nadwiślańskie w Kazimierzu Dolnym, Regional museum complex in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland.
The Vistula River Museum is a museum complex with several branches scattered throughout the town and neighboring areas. The collection holds over 20,000 objects including metals, textiles, photographs, and a fully equipped historical goldsmith workshop.
The institution took shape in the 1970s when traditional wooden buildings from nearby villages were relocated to preserve the region's architectural heritage. This rescue effort saved structures that might otherwise have disappeared.
The collection displays regional crafts and household items that reveal how people lived and worked in this area over time. These objects tell stories about local traditions and the skills that defined daily life for generations.
The main building is located at Rynek 19 in town, while other departments are situated at different locations throughout the area including Janowiec and Żmijowiska. You can plan which branches to visit depending on your interests and time available.
The Goldsmith Museum branch preserves a complete working workshop with original tools and equipment from earlier times. This is one of the few places in Poland where you can see a fully equipped traditional craft workshop.
