The Marcin Mikuła Locksmithing Museum in Świątniki Górne is a municipal institution housed in the building of the School Complex. It shows the old craft for which Świątniki is known.

Museum tradition

In 1888 the Imperial-Royal Locksmithing School was founded here, and in 1893 a museum of the locksmith's craft, closed in 1939. The idea was returned to in 1970 by the regionalist Marcin Mikuła, who opened a regional room. The present museum was opened in 2008.
