Kino Sokół and Regional Historical Chamber (Kino "Sokół" / Regionalna Izba Historyczna)

ul. Grunwaldzka 11, Rymanów, Podkarpackie

Seventy years as a cinema under three names — the last of which quietly undid a communist ban.

The story

After the "Sokół" society was dissolved in 1949, its 1923 hall on ul. Grunwaldzka kept gathering the town in a new form. In the 1950s a cinema opened inside it called "Wyzwolenie" — Liberation — later renamed "Irys," and today it carries the old society's name once more as Kino Sokół. The building now also houses the Regional Historical Chamber (Regionalna Izba Historyczna), whose collections include historic documents, old photographs, and the original "Sokół" flags and uniforms — so the society lives on as a museum inside the hall it built. It stands a few hundred metres south of ul. Bieleckiego, named for the physician who founded that society in 1907.
