Muzeum Archidiecezji Warszawskiej

A good team of staff, researchers and guides will encourage you to learn the history of Polish and European art. We organize temporary exhibitions, museum lessons and lectures. Our museum is friendly to the mobility impaired (elevator, driveway) and with hearing impairment (sign language). Welcome!   The Museum of the Archdiocese of Warsaw was solemnly opened in 1938. It was located in two houses at the back of the Arch. John. In 1944 the museum divided the fate of the city, and the most valuable collections were stolen by the Germans. After the war, priests collected works of art for a future museum, which was opened on the initiative of the Primate of the Millennium only in 1980. Recently our facility has changed its location and is back at the St. Arch. John in the Old Town (former Dean's Palace at Dziekania Street 1). We have three floors of modern exhibition rooms with works of sacred and secular art from the Middle Ages, modern times, baroque, classicism and the work of artists of the Young Poland and modern. The collection includes painting, sculpture, graphics and souvenirs of the great Poles: St. John Paul II, Bl. Fr.. Jerzy Popiełuszka and b. Cardinal Stefanie Wyszyński.
