Kornel Makuszyński (1884-1953), writer, columnist, theatre critic, one of the most popular writer of children’s books. Apart from Kasprowicz’s Harenda, the Kornel Makuszyński Museum is the second biographical and literary museum in Zakopane. It is located in the "Opolanka" Villa, where the Makuszyńskis lived during their annual summer and winter stays in Zakopane and where they settled permanently after World War II. Many valuable items and a large library belonging to the Makuszyńskis were destroyed during World War II in Warsaw. The current exhibits in the museum are only a fraction of the property of Kornel Makuszyński - an art collector and friend of many recognized artists. The museum was established in 1966 from the collections given by Janina Gluzińska-Makuszyńska (1896-1972), wife of the writer.
