Izba Pamięci Jerzego Kukuczki w Istebnej, Mountaineering memorial museum in Istebna, Poland.

The Jerzy Kukuczka Memorial Chamber displays mountaineering equipment, medals, photographs, and personal items from the Polish high-altitude climbing pioneer.

Founded in 1996 by Cecylia Kukuczka, seven years after her husband's death during an ascent of Lhotse's South Face in the Himalayas.

The museum preserves the legacy of Jerzy Kukuczka, who climbed all fourteen peaks above 8,000 meters between 1979 and 1987.

Located in the Wilcze hamlet of Istebna, visitors need to schedule appointments in advance by contacting Cecylia Kukuczka at 508 389 558.

The collection includes Kukuczka's ice axe from his 1979 Lhotse expedition and a flag listing all fourteen eight-thousander mountains he conquered.
