About
The Blacksmithing Museum (Muzeum Kowalstwa) operates as a private museum in Warsaw, founded by Eleonora and Zdzisław Gałecki in the early 1990s. Master blacksmith Kamil Gałecki runs the museum as its current operator. The museum features a 30 m² wooden oak-frame smithy, constructed using dovetail joints. The interior space of the museum showcases equipment which was commonly found in early 20th-century suburban Mazovian smithies. The institution stands as the sole Polish museum with a statute approved by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. The museum is located at 84 Przy Grobli Street, on the border of Dolinka Służewiecka in Warsaw's Mokotów district.
