Regional Museum in Sławków

The Regional Museum in Sławków is located at Rynek 9 and collects keepsakes from the history of the town and its surroundings. Today it is the Department of Past Culture of the Municipal Cultural Centre, which also houses a tourist information point.

How it came about

The museum was founded in 1976 on the initiative of the local branch of the Olkusz Land Friends' Society. At first it occupied the historic building of a former inn, and in 1984 it moved to a merchant house from 1870.

Collections

The exhibitions cover the history of the region: archaeological finds from the local castle, the history of Sławków in the 20th century, mining and metallurgical traditions, crafts and trade. A separate strand is the history of Sławków's Jewish community, which is also recalled by the synagogue in Sławków.
