Natural History Museum of the Magurski National Park

The Educational-Museum Center of the Magurski National Park is located in an interesting modern building in Krempna. It is worth visiting not only for souvenirs but especially for maps, guides, and brochures with descriptions of nature trails (you will only find signs with stop numbers along the route!).

Here you will also learn everything about the Magurski Terrestrial Badge. After a few days, coming with a complete set of stamps, you will proudly receive it!

Before entering, it is worth exploring the surroundings of the museum: here, a mini educational trail has been arranged. In addition to the beautiful Magurski meadow, you will also find nests (which you can enter), large birdhouses (which you can peek into), and our HIGHLIGHT: a barefoot path - don't miss it! You will find it at the back of the building, near the rear entrance to the lower level of the exhibition.

The Exhibition at the Educational-Museum Center of the Magurski National Park is divided into two parts:

PUBLIC PART:

These are small rooms with exhibits that you can experience firsthand: touch, listen, smell, and "observe" through the photographer's lens.

The exhibition is divided into three levels: on the highest level, in the treetop, we will meet the golden eagle. Lower - the level of the tree trunk - we will see what happens in the national park at the forest level. Even lower, we will descend to the tree roots: to underground burrows, but also to the Magurski meadows.

FILM AND DIORAMAS

At full hours, you can buy a ticket for a film screening and a story about the four seasons in the Magurski National Park, based on four dioramas. The film, which lasts about 20 minutes, is a journey through time: from prehistoric times to the present day of the Beskid Niski. Then, appropriate lighting and the voice of the narrator will guide us through the four dioramas with examples of fauna and flora of the MPN.

The diorama hall is accessible for wheelchairs. The exhibitions on the three levels are not (although there may be a hidden elevator somewhere...). There are restroom facilities. Souvenir shop outside. No food service available.

From the MPN Museum, you can start the educational trail Hałbów - Kamień (a loop around Krempna, about 4-5 hours).

In Krempna, we recommend visiting the historic Orthodox church, the cemetery from World War I on Łokieć Hill (above the MPN museum), and relaxing by the reservoir on the Wisłoka River. The best way to descend to the river is just below the dam or at the ford next to the hanging bridge (road to Huta Krempska).
