Special Collections in the Museum of Independence

Leopolis Collection was found in 1992 as an initiative from the Department of the Lviv Society. The aim of that collection is to collect historical materials in order to show the truth about Lviv and South-Eastern Lesser Poland. The most relics are connected with the history of Lviv when being annexed and from the times of Second republic of Poland. The collection consists mainly of photographs, post cards, archive and family souvenirs. We also have graphics and paintings and materials connected with a Lviv radio programme operating before the War.
