This modest museum, on a quiet street just a few metres north of the Rynek, is a good introduction to the geology, flora and fauna of the Bieszczady. The ground floor is given over to temporary exhibitions (such as photography in the Bieszczady) and staff can advise on what to see and do in the national park.
