Parish Museum

Local name: Muzeum Parafialne

The Parish Museum in Grybów is housed in an old presbytery from the late 17th century. Initially, its collection included the equipment of an old church, which at the beginning of the 20th century was replaced by a magnificent neo-Gothic temple. With time, items of equipment for the surrounding churches and synagogues in Grybów, old books and liturgical vessels, as well as photos and other monuments related to the city's past found here.

The Parish Museum is a branch of the Diocesan Museum in Tarnów. Due to thefts that took place at the end of the 20th century, the most valuable exhibits were taken to Tarnów and to the Erazm Ciołek Museum in Krakow. For the needs of the museum, a larch presbytery was adapted, one of the few buildings in the city that survived a great fire in the late 19th century.

The museum's collections contain mainly monuments of sacred art. There are paintings, altar elements and liturgical items from the old church. There is also a large collection of Judaica. These are items that were handed over for safekeeping during World War II by a local rabbi. Among them is the 200-year-old Torah scroll. The museum also has glass negatives provided by the Studnicki family and monuments related to the development of the Grybów brewery, which were given by the owners' family, Paszków.
