Source
The Archdiocesan Museum in Krakow is located in the former residence of Cardinal Karol Wojtyła, who later became Pope John Paul II. The museum is situated in houses number 19 to 21 at Kanonicza Street. This location is not only significant for its historical value but also for its connection to one of the most influential figures in the Catholic Church.
Museum's Collection
The museum's collection includes personal objects that belonged to Karol Wojtyła. These items are displayed in the rooms where he once lived, providing a unique insight into his life and work. The collection not only holds sentimental and historical value but also allows visitors to understand the values and teachings of this significant religious figure.
Sacral Art Collection
In addition to the personal belongings of Karol Wojtyła, the museum also showcases a collection of sacral art from the 13th to the 20th century. This includes paintings, sculptures, and handcrafts from the region of the Archdiocese of Krakow. Among the collection is the oldest painted panel in Poland, which originated from a wooden church in Dębno Podhalańskie.
