Izba Muzealna (or so called Museum Chamber ) in Krościenko Wyżne was created and opened in 1993 by a local Village Housewife Circle on the initiative of a school teacher and social activist Zofia Przybyła. Originally artifacts gathered from all around the village were displayed in a room of the 80 years old organist house next to the church, spared for this particular purpose by Father Jan Szpunar. With the influx of artifacts this village museum expanded and now is housed in the entire building. Visitors can admire furniture, paintings, models of traditional folk clothing, kitchen utensils, spinning/ weaving stands, shoemaker’s workshop, linen processing, spinning, laundry and ironing tools. The other chamber of the Museum displays documents, school equipment, old photos, periodicals, figures, paintings, liturgical utensils, book collection from the old church dated 1450 illegally dismantled in 1911. In the third chamber collected is heavy farming equipment. All presented artifacts and mementos come solely from Krościenko Wyżne
