About Muzeum Archidiecezjalne w Krakowie

The Archdiocesan Museum in Krakow is a museum consisting of Cardinal Karol Wojtyła's former residence in Krakow in houses no. 19–21 at Kanonicza Street. The museum was established in 1906 by Cardinal Jan Puzyna, but in its present form has existed since 1994. The official opening of the museum took place on 5 May 1994 and was performed by Cardinal Franciszek Macharski. The Archdiocesan Museum in Krakow is the house where Karol Wojtyła (later Pope John Paul II) as a young priest, then bishop and finally cardinal lived for 17 years, between 1951 and 1967. Due to this fact, an important part of the museum's collection consists of personal objects.
