One museum, seven branches
Welcome to the portal of the District Museum in Nowy Sącz. Nice to have you with us! We will gladly take you on a journey through the history and traditions of the Nowy Sącz and the Pieniny region.

History of the museum
The beginnings of museology in Nowy Sącz date back to the turn of the 1880s and 1890s, when memorabilia of the past began to be collected. In 1896, Józef Wieniawa-Zubrzycki allocated his house at ul. Jagiellońska 35 for the seat of the municipal library and museum.
