The Museum – Synagogue Complex in Włodawa is the only place in Poland where three historic post-Jewish buildings are in one square: two 18th-century synagogues and a former Jewish council house from 1928. The Great Synagogue hosts a permanent exhibition of Judaica and exhibitions relating to Jewish culture in the broadest sense. Exhibitions related only to the history of the Jews who lived in Włodawa and the region are also created. The Small Synagogue hosts exhibitions on the region's various historical and ethnographic themes. The museum has been organising the Festival of Three Cultures for over twenty years, presenting artistic and academic events, workshops, and exhibitions related to Jewish, Orthodox and Catholic cultures. Through such efforts, it seeks to protect the memory of the Jews who once formed the social backbone of this borderland shtetl.
The museum's collections include objects related to religious practices (Judaica), works of art, historical collections and archives. The primary collection of artefacts is on permanent exhibition in the Great Synagogue. It documents the history of Polish Jews from the second half of the 19th century to the present day. The collection also includes memorabilia of the Jews of Włodawa, which are of great sentimental and cognitive value to us. We also have a collection of archive photographs from the interwar period and the German occupation, depicting the Jewish community and its material possessions.
