Tatra Museum
Muzeum Tatrzańskie
A regional museum founded in 1888 that showcases the nature, highland folk culture and art of the Tatra Mountains. Its main building is right beside Krupówki Street.
The main Tatra Museum building is a stone and timber structure in the Zakopane style. Its permanent exhibits cover the geology, plants and animals of the Tatras, the costumes, woodcarvings and folk glass paintings of the Górale highlanders, and reconstructed traditional farmhouses. It is a good introduction to local culture.
