Warsaw Archdiocese Museum

The Warsaw Archdiocese Museum is located in the 16th-century palace next to St. John’s Cathedral in the Old Town. Founded in 1938, in the 1980s, it was a place where opposition activity against the communist system in Poland was supported. During martial law, groups of artists, actors and musicians were active here.
