Museum of Archaeology


This sprawling Old Town edifice has served variously as a palace, a monastery, a prison and today a museum. A notable collection of mummies will please fans of the macabre, whilst the legendary Pagan statue Swiatowid - plucked from the bed of the River Zbrucz a hundred years ago - is a standout. Pleasant garden.

Museum of Archaeology

"We didn't have time to do this place justice, but what a great start we made. We headed straight for the Swiatowid ze Zbrucza statue, much to the annoyance of the staff, whose job it was to herd everybody along in the 'correct' direction. All the exhibits were beautifully lit & well presented. Some verged on spooky- with skeletons in the floor under glass covers. Others were mesmerising- the Swiatowid statue was unimaginably beautiful (after years of wanting to see it in the 'flesh' it didn't disappoint). It has recently been given a wad of cash, I believe, & it shows. A classy, well consructed, well designed museum that we will definately be gracing again. "
