FDC issue "175 years of the Archaeological Museum in Kraków"
Catalogue number: 2397
Issue date: 18-02-2026
The issue celebrates the 175th anniversary of the Archaeological Museum in Kraków, the oldest archaeological museum in Poland. The institution was founded as the Museum of Antiquities by Kraków’s intellectual community associated with the Kraków Scientific Society.
The stamp presents the Światowid (Zbruch Idol)—a four‑sided limestone sculpture from the Miodobory region, preserved at a height of 257 cm and usually dated to the 10th century or the late 9th/10th century. The image shows the figure with great detail, emphasizing its unique iconography and cultural significance.The accompanying stamp sheet includes multiple representations of the sculpture along with archaeological artefacts from the museum’s collection, such as tools, blades and other ancient objects.
The FDC envelope contains a panoramic photograph of Kraków, with the museum buildings and its garden clearly visible in the foreground.
The postmark presents the simplified, stylized head of the Światowid—the official emblem of the Archaeological Museum in Kraków.
