It occupies a former cathedral school building from the 16th century on Cathedral Square, expanded in 2008 and 2011. The collection focuses on sacral art of the Przemyśl Archdiocese, including medieval Gothic Madonna sculptures, a monumental rood-beam crucifix, Baroque portraits, tapestries, and mementos of Pope John Paul II.
