Museum of Highlanders and Robbers in Rabka-Zdrój

The Museum of Highlanders and Robbers named after Jan Fudala in Rabka-Zdrój is an amazing place for the whole family! Historic interiors and historical exhibits are combined here with interactive play stations, where we can not only touch selected objects but also play with them!

What will we see in the Museum of Highlanders and Robbers?

The main part of the exhibition is located in the historic cottage of the museum's patron and founder, Jan Fudala. Pay attention to the coffered ceiling with glass paintings created by the host (a folk artist and athlete).

In the next rooms, we will see elements of traditional highlander clothing (and try them on!), wooden toys, Christmas and Easter decorations, and highlander kitchen equipment - here we will learn about the highlander menu for the whole day!

In addition to the traditional exhibition, there are stations where we can touch and try to use various objects, and there are also multimedia screens with films and touch games.

Outdoor part of the Museum of Highlanders and Robbers

In addition to Jan Fudala's cottage, there are several smaller buildings on the museum grounds, including:

• "robber's palace" with robber treasures and figures of the most famous robber leaders
• a nativity scene with a puppet show about the robber Tomek Luboń (using puppets, we can tell a local legend ourselves)
• a shepherd's hut
• a Loreto bell tower with a bell to ward off rain clouds
• a chapel with religious figures
• a robber's dungeon

Museum of Highlanders and Robbers - attractions for children

As you can see from the descriptions above, there are many attractions for the youngest visitors, literally at every step, not just in one separate corner. While visiting the museum, we try, among other things, how to lie on a straw mattress, how to stomp cabbage, carry a yoke, scrub wooden boards, wash on a washboard, iron with a soul iron, press oscypek cheese, sweep with a twig broom, and even how to be punished in stocks.

Additionally, each visitor receives a museum map with special tasks to complete. This is an extra motivation to visit all corners of the museum and pay attention to individual exhibits. Moreover, after completing them, we will receive a commemorative sticker!

Workshops at the Museum of Highlanders and Robbers

A visit to the museum can be complemented by workshops where we will prepare a regional souvenir, such as a felt trinket, a painted wooden toy, or a glass painting. These workshops can be purchased individually or for a group.
