Muzeum Stylu Zakopiańskiego im. S. Witkiewicza
About

The Museum of Zakopane Style named after Stanisław Witkiewicz is housed in the historic Villa Koliba, the first building ever created in the Zakopane Style. Designed in the 1890s by Witkiewicz, the villa embodies his vision of a national architectural style rooted in Podhale’s highlander traditions. Today, the museum offers an intimate journey through carefully restored interiors that reflect their original late‑19th‑century functions, from the dining room and salon to Gnatowski’s private chambers. Visitors can admire furniture, decorative objects, and artisan works crafted according to Witkiewicz’s designs, showcasing the rich ornamentation and craftsmanship that define the style. The collection also includes ethnographic items and artistic pieces connected to the region’s cultural heritage. As a branch of the Tatra Museum, the site preserves not only the architectural legacy of Witkiewicz but also the spirit of the Podhale Highlands, making it an essential stop for anyone seeking to understand Zakopane’s unique identity.
