Words fail to sufficiently describe the incredible collection of works of Beksinski. Items ranged from his early works - including photography and sculptures - to his iconic paintings and late digital explorations until his death. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the modern art scene of late 20th century.

This is a place everyone visiting Magurski National Park should visit first. Modern building with superbly arranged exhibition on everything "nature" in the Park. The whole tour starts with a film on establishing Magurski NP, on it's flora and fauna, and then - with a guide - a trip around exhibition, with all important animals living in the Park introduced. Best place to visit when in Krempna.

Can't remember how many times I have visited this place before, but every time I do it is like a new experience within those old wooden buildings. It is the oldest and largest open air museum (the Swedish word skansen is used in Poland to name such places) in Poland (there are older such places within todays borders, but they were established in places that didn't belong to Poland before WWII), set up just after WWII. The museum presents the folk culture of the the eastern part of the Polish Carpathians. Established in 1958 this museum has its head office in castle park in central Sanok, as both establishements: the open air museum and historic museum are combined into one unit. First time we visited it was in the early nineties, and the part now called Rynek Galicyjski (Galician market) didn't even exist, it was just an open field. Many many houses moved from their origin place to this museum plus three completely different orthodox churches (tserkvas) and one catholic church are on display. Also a wooden manor. There's also a part commemorating long tradition of oil extraction, as Podkarpacie region was the first in the world to make use of crude oil. Skansen in Sanok is definitelly a place one must visit.

Something to do if staying in Przemysl and well worth it. The arboretum is about 8 km frim Przemysl. The highlights for us were the museum with insects and wildlife (stuffed), the oldest Cornelian cherry dogwood (deren) in Poland (near the peacocks/paw), the peacocks, the lily ponds and the wisteria-covered pergolas. You can also buy some dogwood plants and some dogberry jelly (pln 10), also pickled available. Really enjoyed the visit (pln 44 2 adults/2 kids) around the 29 ha.

The Bóbrka Oil Field Museum is a fascinating forgotten piece of Oil Industry history. The museum has two 19th century oil wells including the oldest still operating oil well in the world. The Bóbrka Oil Field Museum is situated in a park environment between Krosno and Dukla in Southern Poland. Free parking. In the 19th century natural pits with crude oil were found in the region. Distillation of crude oil into kerosene soon followed. In 1853 in the hospital in Lwów (in those days Lemberg in Austro-Hungary and now Lviv in Ukraine) kerosene lamps were used for the first time. The demand of kerosene increased and the Bóbrka Oil Field was created. This was the advent of the Oil Industry. At the Bóbrka Museum you find exhibits and objects from the early days of Oil. Including a manually digging oil pit from 1860 and manual drilling material. A mechanical percussion-drilling rig. A wooden mechanical workshop from 1864. The oil field administration building from 1865. A steam driven Canadian-type drilling rig from 1885. For anyone why is interested how the oil industry started, the Bóbrka Oil Field Museum is a must. Highly recommended.
