The Tatra Museum is one of the oldest regional museums in Poland. In 1888, a group of friends and supporters of Dr. Tytus Chałubiński formed the Tatra Museum Society, which led to the opening of the first exhibition later that year.
The seat of the newly established museum became Jan Krzeptowski's house at Krupówki, more or less where the Industrial and Commercial Bank is located today. The first curator of the Dr Tytus Chałubiński Tatra Museum was the secretary of the Climatic Commission, teacher Władysław Roszek.
The museum houses the largest specialist library, collecting books and press publications relating to the Tatra and Podtatrze mountains, Polish and Slovak, as well as an archive, which is an inexhaustible source of information for hundreds of researchers of the region.
In accordance with the concept of a dispersed museum, which has been promoted for some time now, the management of the Zakopane institution takes care of dozens of historical buildings in the Podhale region and beyond. There are many establishments operating under the name of the Tatra Museum - from the tiny Museum of the 1846 Uprising in Chochołów, to the Tetmajer Manor in Łopuszna, through its branches in Zakopane and Spisz.
The most frequently visited branches of the Tatra Museum are the Museum of Zakopane Style in the "Koliba" villa (18 Kościeliska Street), the Władysław Hasior Gallery (18b Jagiellońska Street) and the Kornel Makuszyński Museum - "Opolanka" (15 Tetmajera Street).
