The Galicia Jewish Museum was established to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust and promote the Jewish culture of Polish Galicia, presenting Jewish history from a new perspective. The Museum’s goal is to break down stereotypes and misconceptions related to the history of Jews in Poland and to educate both Poles and Jews about their own history, encouraging reflection on the future.
In addition to the permanent exhibition “Traces of Memory” the Museum also presents a wide range of temporary exhibitions, prepared by its own curators and sourced from around the world. The museum offers a wide range of cultural and educational
events and operates one of the largest Jewish bookstores in Poland.
The museum’s kosher café serves a selection of hot and cold beverages and snacks.

Estimated time of the visit: 90 min
