The museum and its building
The Beskid Museum occupies a former inn of 1794 in the heart of Wisła. It is named after Andrzej Podżorski, a collector of regional folk art, and is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the town.
The collections
- Shepherding culture — the equipment of sheep farming in the Beskids
- Weaving and dress — textiles, tools and regional costume
- Everyday life — the furnishings of Beskid highlanders' cottages
- The history of Wisła — the past of the town and the region
In practice
The museum is in the centre, close to the promenade — a good choice for a rainy day and a complement to a day in the mountains. Opening hours and admission depend on the season; it is worth checking before a visit.
